Du Vall v. Lowes Companies Inc.

U.S. Court of Appeals for the Fifth Circuit
Du Vall v. Lowes Companies Inc., 278 F. App'x 399 (5th Cir. 2008)

Du Vall v. Lowes Companies Inc.

Opinion

*400 PER CURIAM: *

For the reasons stated in the district court’s order, we affirm the judgment that it lacked personal jurisdiction over Lowe’s Companies, Inc. With respect to the argument that the district court should have granted Plaintiff an opportunity for discovery on the issue of personal jurisdiction, we deem that argument waived because Plaintiff never requested any such relief before the district court. See Tex. Commercial Energy v. TXU Energy, Inc., 413 F.3d 503, 510 (5th Cir. 2005) (recognizing that arguments not raised before the district court are waived on appeal). Finally, with respect to the district court’s orders dismissing the remaining defendants, we do not have appellate jurisdiction to review those orders because they were not included in the notice of appeal and, indeed, were issued after Plaintiff filed the instant notice of appeal. See Pope v. MCI Telecomm. Corp., 937 F.2d 258, 266 (5th Cir. 1991).

AFFIRMED.

*

Pursuant to 5th Cir. R. 47.5, the court has determined that this opinion should not be published and is not precedent except under the limited circumstances set forth in 5th Cir R. 47.5.4.
