   U.S. Court of Appeals Case No:  06-3353
   U.S. District Court for the Western District of Arkansas - Ft. Smith   
   [PUBLISHED] [Arnold, Author, with Loken, Chief Judge, and Colloton,
   Circuit Judge]
   Civil case - arbitration. Where the parties' arbitration agreement
   permits the parties to select interested arbitrators, evident partiality
   cannot serve as a basis for vacating an award under 9 U.S.C. Sec.
   10(a)(2), absent a showing of prejudice; here, defendant failed to
   show that the challenged arbitrator's partiality had a prejudicial
   impact on the arbitration award, and the district court did not err
   in affirming it.
