   U.S. Court of Appeals Case No:  17-2405
   U.S. District Court for the District of Minnesota - Minneapolis   
   [PUBLISHED] [Arnold, Author, with Wollman and Stras, Circuit Judges] 
   Civil case - Arbitration. Plaintiff does not warrant relief under any of 
   the court's evident-partiality standards since she does not explain how an 
   arbitrator's undisclosed mediation in a prior case involving one of the 
   defendants creates even an impression of possible bias; the arbitrator 
   disclosed the ten other cases he arbitrated involving the defendants and 
   his undisclosed mediation of a single additional case was at most a 
   trivial and inconsequential addition to the history of that relationship; 
   mere fact that non-disclosure of the past service violated FINRA rules 
   governing arbitration did not provide the district court with any basis to 
   conclude he was evidently partial; arbitrator misbehavior that results 
   only in the violation of a party's rights under FINRA rules is not 
   significant enough to merit relief under 9 U.S.C. Sec. 10(a)(3) unless the 
   party is deprived of a fair hearing; here, plaintiff stated at oral 
   argument that there were no irregularities in the arbitral hearings.
