1Opinion of the Court
OWEN, Circuit Judge:
The basis for this interlocutory appeal pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 1292(b) is the district court’s denial of a motion to compel arbitration of a contractual dispute among three insurers. The district court concluded that because of the McCarran-Ferguson Act,1 the Convention on the Recognition and Enforcement of Foreign Arbi-tral Awards (Convention)2 and federal legislation providing that the Convention shall be enforced in United States courts, found in 9 U.S.C. §§ 201-208, are reverse preempted by La.Rev.Stat. Ann. § 22:629. We disagree.
