Docket

*1 Before WIENER, SOUTHWICK, and HAYNES, Circuit Judges.

Case: 17-60113 Document: 00514249708 Page: 2 Date Filed: 11/27/2017

No. 17-60113

PER CURIAM:*

There are two separate but related lawsuits that are relevant in this appeal. The first is the underlying suit brought by Appellant Darlene Haynes against the Appellees and other entities and individuals. The second is a separate action filed by the Appellees to compel Haynes to arbitrate the claims she brought against them in the underlying lawsuit.

The United States District Court for the Southern District of Mississippi entered a final judgment in the second lawsuit, compelling Haynes to arbitrate her claims against the Appellees and staying the proceedings between the parties in the underlying lawsuit. Haynes appealed.

We recently held that we lacked appellate jurisdiction over a district court’s order that compelled arbitration and then stayed the proceedings in the separate lawsuit between the parties. See Green Tree Servicing, L.L.C. v. Charles , 872 F.3d 637, 638–40 (5th Cir. 2017). We find no meaningful distinction between this case and our recent decision.

We do not have jurisdiction over the district court’s final judgment compelling arbitration because that judgment also stayed the substantive claims in the underlying lawsuit between Haynes and the Appellees. See id. at 639–40. The appeal is DISMISSED.

[*] Pursuant to 5 TH C IR . R. 47.5, the court has determined that this opinion should not be published and is not precedent except under the limited circumstances set forth in 5 TH C IR . R. 47.5.4. 2
