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.
