   U.S. Court of Appeals Case No:  08-3535
   U.S. District Court for the Eastern District of Arkansas - Little Rock   
   [PUBLISHED] [Bye, Author, with Hansen and Benton, Circuit Judges]
   Civil case - insurance. Defendant's demand for plaintiff to be involved
   in the defense of anticipated suits by injured parties is enough to create an
   actual controversy and give plaintiff the right to bring this declaratory
   judgment action to determine priority of coverage; district court did not
   err in determining that defendant's policy provided primary coverage for
   the accident and that its umbrella policy would also be triggered before
   the policy issued by plaintiff came into play.
