Before BRANCH, LUCK, and KIDD, Circuit Judges.

PER CURIAM:

This appeal is DISMISSED, sua sponte, for lack of jurisdiction. La Laurel, LLC and Onyx Lauren Coale appeal from

USCA11 Case: 26-11972 Document: 25-1 Date Filed: 09/11/2026 Page: 2 of 2 2 Opinion of the Court 26-11972 the district court’s order compelling arbitration and staying the case.

An appeal may not be taken from an interlocutory order that compels arbitration and stays, rather than dismisses, the action. 9 U.S.C. § 16(b)(1)-(3); see Am. Express Fin. Advisors, Inc. v. Makarewicz, 122 F.3d 936, 939 (11th Cir. 1997) (dismissing for lack of jurisdiction an appeal of an order compelling arbitration, staying proceedings, and administratively closing the case); Green Tree Fin. Corp.-Ala. v. Randolph, 531 U.S. 79, 87 n.2 (2000) (noting that if the district court had entered a stay, rather than a dismissal, the order would not have been appealable, per § 16(b)(1)). The district court’s order here stayed, rather than dismissed, the case and contemplated further proceedings. We thus lack jurisdiction to review the order.
