2002The court found that the Federal Arbitration Act is not an independent source of jurisdiction, then, relying on the wisdom of three other circuits, Meyer v. Conlon, 162 F.3d 1264 (10th Cir.1998); Holman v. Laulo-Rowe Agency, 994 F.2d 666 (9th Cir.1993); Williams Farms of Homestead, Inc. v. Rain and Hail Insurance Services, Inc., 121 F.3d 630 (11th Cir.1997), developed a three prong test to determine whether federal law preempts a state statute: The Fifth Circuit will not find a congressional intent to “occupy the field” and completely displace state law unless the statute (1) contains a civil

1990The proper method for conducting this balancing of interests is set forth in McEvoy v. Schoemaker, 882 F.2d 463, 465-466 (10th Cir.1989) as follows: In Mount Healthy City School Dist. v. Doyle, 429 U.S. 274, 287 , 97 S.Ct. 568, 576 , 50 L.Ed.2d 471 (1977), the Supreme Court established a three prong test to determine whether a governmental entity’s adverse employment decision concerning an employee contravened that employee’s first amendment guarantees.
