In March 2000, Wesley Allen Myers and Sonja Diane Myers (Debtors) filed a Chapter 12 bankruptcy petition in the United States Bankruptcy Court. The Farm Service Agency (FSA), an agency within the United States Department of Agriculture, filed a motion for relief from the automatic stay to setoff government program payments owed to Debtors. The bankruptcy court denied the FSA's motion, holding administrative regulations prohibited setoff. On appeal, the Bankruptcy Appellate Panel (BAP) affirmed on alternative grounds, focusing on 553 of the Bankruptcy Code. In re Myers, 284 B.R. 478 (B.A.P. 10th Cir. 2002).

GRAIN DEALERS MUTUAL INSURANCE v. FARMERS ALLIANCE MUTUAL INSURANCE COMPANY FILED 1000 United States Court of Appeals Tenth Circuit JUN 13 2002 PATRICK FISHER Clerk PUBLISH UNITED STATES COURT OF APPEALS TENTH CIRCUIT GRAIN DEALERS MUTUAL INSURANCE No. 01-6225 COMPANY, Plaintiff - Appellant, v. FARMERS ALLIANCE MUTUAL INSURANCE COMPANY, Defendant - Appellee. Appeal from the United States District Court for the Western District of Oklahoma (D.C. No. CIV-00-370-T) Mort G. Welch (Sherry L. Smith with him on the brief) of Welch & Smith, Oklahoma City, Oklahoma, for Plaintiff-Appellant. Donald R. Wilson (Michael S. McMillin with him on the brief) of Fenton, Fenton, Smith, Reneau & Moon, Oklahoma City, Oklahoma, for Defendant-Appellee. Before SEYMOUR, ALDISERT(1), and EBEL, Circuit Judges. ALDISERT, Circuit Judge. (1) Ruggero J. Aldisert, Senior United States Circuit Judge for the Third Circuit, sitting by designation. This appeal requires us to interpret a farmowners-ranchowners insurance policy clause that excludes coverage for "bodily injury or property damage arising out of business pursuits," when the sequela of conducting a legitimate business activity on the property was the enhancement of the farm property covered by the policy. To do this, we must apply Oklahoma law in a dispute between two companies that have issued insurance policies. Robert and Mary McQuary, husband and wife, purchased a farmowners- ranchowners policy from Farmers Alliance Mutual Insurance Company, which covered a tract of thirty-three acres on which their dwelling is located. The policy named Robert and Mary McQuary as the insureds. Mr. and Mrs. McQuary are the sole shareholders and officers of R&M Fleet Services ("R&M"), a company located on the same property as their dwelling. When R&M entered into a contract to purchase and transport fly...
RIOGRANDE UNDERWRITE v PITTS FARMS INC IN THE UNITED STATES COURT OF APPEALS FOR THE FIFTH CIRCUIT No. 01-40823 Summary Calendar RIO GRANDE UNDERWRITERS, INC., Plaintiff-Appellant, versus PITTS FARMS, INC., Defendant-Appellee. Appeal from the United States District Court for the Southern District of Texas _ December 18, 2001 Before REAVLEY, HIGGINBOTHAM and WIENER, Circuit Judges. REAVLEY, Circuit Judge: Rio Grande Underwriters, Inc. (Rio Grande) appeals the district court's order dismissing, for lack of subject matter jurisdiction, its petition for a stay and order compelling arbitration. For the reasons that follow we AFFIRM. Pitts Farms, an onion grower, filed suit in state court alleging state law claims against Rio Grande for its failure to procure the right crop insurance coverage on Pitts' behalf.(1) When Pitts Farms sustained losses to its onion crop, it found that the insurance policy in place failed to designate its red and yellow onions into separate units. According to Pitts Farms, the failure to designate the onion types as separate insurable units as permitted by federal regulations prevented Pitts from fully recovering for its losses. Rio Grande seeks to avoid the litigation in state court by enforcing arbitration provisions in its contracts with Pitts Farms. Unable to obtain relief in state court, Rio Grande filed a petition in federal court requesting a stay and order compelling arbitration. Such relief is available in federal district court under the Federal Arbitration Act (FAA) only if the court would have had subject matter jurisdiction over the underlying civil action. 9 U.S.C. § 4. Although Rio Grande has suggested numerous bases for jurisdiction, the district court properly found them to be without merit. First, Rio Grande argues that because its contracts with Pitts Farms relate to interstate commerce, it follows that the FAA applies and that the case may therefore be heard in federal c...
