CSK AUTO, INC., Plaintiff-counter-defendant-Appellee, v. DAVEL COMMUNICATIONS GROUP, INC., a Delaware corporation; Telaleasing Enterprises, Inc., an Illinois corporation, Defendants-counter-claimants—Appellants.
    No. 00-17348.
    D.C. No. CV-00-00624-EHC.
    United States Court of Appeals, Ninth Circuit.
    Argued and Submitted May 14, 2002.
    Decided May 17, 2002.
    
      Before HAWKINS and SILVERMAN, Circuit Judges, and RESTANI, Judge.
    
      
       The Honorable Jane A. Restani, United States Court of International Trade, sitting by designation.
    
   MEMORANDUM

Relying on plain language, the district court properly determined that the choice of law and forum selection clause in the parties’ agreement that it would be governed by “the laws of the State of Arizona, and its courts shall have exclusive jurisdiction of any matters arising out of this Agreement” did not permit a diversity action brought in the courts of the United States sitting in Arizona. The remand to state court was, therefore, entirely appropriate.

AFFIRMED. 
      
       This disposition is not appropriate for publication and may not be cited to or by the courts of this circuit except as may be provided by Ninth Circuit Rule 36-3.
