Davister Corp. v. United Republic Life Insurance
Court of Appeals for the Tenth Circuit

1Opinion of the Court
JOHN C. PORFILIO, Circuit Judge.
This case considers whether the district court erred by abstaining from enforcing arbitration of a dispute between Davister Corporation and the Liquidator of. United Republic Life Insurance Company (United), an insurance company domiciled in Utah and currently under liquidation in insolvency proceedings in Utah state court. We believe this question must be resolved under the McCarran-Ferguson Act, not under other doctrines of abstention. So focused, we hold the district court correctly refused to compel arbitration. We therefore affirm1 its judgment.
