152323P.pdf   05/10/2016  Richard A. Messina  v.  North Central Distributing
   U.S. Court of Appeals Case No:  15-2323
   U.S. District Court for the District of Minnesota - Minneapolis   
   [PUBLISHED] [Murphy, Author, with Beam and Gruender, Circuit Judges] 
   Civil case - Arbitration. Defendant knew of its right to arbitration, 
   acted inconsistently with that right by engaging in pretrial proceedings 
   and by only moving to arbitrate after it lost its motion to transfer venue 
   and prejudiced plaintiff by its failure to even mention arbitration 
   despite numerous opportunities to so over eight months of litigation; as a 
   result, the district court did not err in finding defendant had waived its 
   right to arbitration.
