                          and No:  09-2435
   U.S. District Court for the Western District of Arkansas - Fayetteville   
   [PUBLISHED] [Loken, Author, with John R. Gibson and Wollman,
   Circuit Judges]
Civil case - Arbitration. The Supreme Court's decision in Vaden v. Discover Bank, 129 S.Ct. 1262 (2009) did not overrule the otherwise on- point decisions in Moses H. Cone Hospital v. Mercury Construction Corp. 460 U.S. 1 (1083) and Advance America Servicing of Arkansas v. McGinnis, 526 F.3d 1170 (8th Cir. 2008), and the district court erred in dismissing the cases for lack of subject matter jurisdiction; under the cited cases the diversity of citizenship is determined by the citizenship of the parties named in the proceedings in the district, plus any Rule 19 indispensable parties; cases remanded to the district court with directions to re-enter orders compelling arbitration.
