083189P.pdf 08/06/2009 Industrial Wire Products v. Costco Wholesale Corporation
U.S. Court of Appeals Case No: 08-3189
U.S. District Court for the Eastern District of Missouri - St. Louis
[PUBLISHED] [Shepherd, Author, with Riley and Benton, Circuit
Judges]
Civil case - Arbitration. Because the district court's order denying
Costco's motion to compel arbitration was neither final nor injunctive,
the Federal Circuit does not have exclusive jurisdiction over the appeal;
this circuit has jurisdiction over the appeal pursuant to 9 U.S.C. Sec.
16(a)(1); dispute fell within the broad language of one of the arbitration
provisions of the parties' agreement, and the district court erred in
denying the motion to compel arbitration.
