111610P.pdf   11/04/2011  Allen Thatcher  v.  Hanover Insurance Group, Inc.
   U.S. Court of Appeals Case No:  11-1610
   U.S. District Court for the Western District of Arkansas - Texarkana   
   [PUBLISHED] [Shepherd, Author, with Wollman and Bye, Circuit Judges]
   Civil case - Civil procedure. Where the district court granted a motion
   to voluntarily dismiss without first addressing whether the motion was an
   improper forum-shopping measure, the case must be remanded to permit
   the district court to determine whether it has subject matter jurisdiction;
   after the court makes the determination, it can consider whether dismissal
   without prejudice is appropriate, taking into consideration whether the
   motion to voluntarily dismiss is a forum-shopping measure; if the court
   determines it lacks subject matter jurisdiction, it should remand the case to
   state court.
