   U.S. District Court for the Eastern District of Missouri - St. Louis   
   [PUBLISHED] [Benton, Author, with Melloy, Circuit Judge, and
   Baker, District Judge]
Civil case - Arbitration. In action on behalf of Peruvian children alleging they were injured by environmental contamination at defendants' lead mine, the district court did not err in denying defendants' motion to stay the case pending the outcome of arbitration with Peru; joining the Fifth and Ninth Circuits, this court hold that a case may be removed to federal court under 9 U.S.C. Sec. 205 if the arbitration could conceivably affect the outcome of the case; this court did not have pendent appellate jurisdiction over defendants' discretionary-stay claim; with respect to defendants' motion for a mandatory stay pending the outcome of the arbitration, the district court did not err in denying the motion as the issues in the case are not referable to arbitration under 9 U.S.C. Sec. 3.
