INSURASOURCE, INCORPORATED, Plaintiff-Appellant v. COWLES & CONNELL OF NEW YORK, INCORPORATED; Cowles & Connell of Connecticut, Incorporated, Defendants-Appellees.
    No. 11-60672.
    United States Court of Appeals, Fifth Circuit.
    June 11, 2012.
    John P. Sneed, Wise Carter Child & Caraway, P.A., Jackson, MS, William Charles Walter, Grand Bank for Savings, FSB, Hattiesburg, MS, for Plaintiff-Appellant.
    John Adam Crawford, Jr., Esq., Paul Michael Ellis, Butler, Snow, O’Mara, Stevens & Cannada, P.L.L.C., Ridgeland, MS, for Defendants-Appellees.
    Before JOLLY, DeMOSS, and STEWART, Circuit Judges.
   PER CURIAM:

We affirm the well-reasoned opinion of the district court, dismissing this case for lack of personal jurisdiction.

With respect to the financing agreements, John A. Rocco, Incorporated, was not an agent of the appellees, and Rocco’s conduct is therefore not attributable to the appellees. With respect to the insurance agreements, the appellees did not make any contracts with a resident of Mississippi, commit any torts in Mississippi, or otherwise do business in Mississippi. Instead, the appellees sold insurance to New Jersey insureds.

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         Pursuant to 5m Cir. R. 47.5, the court has determined that this opinion should not be published and is not precedent except under the limited circumstances set forth in 5th Cir. R. 47.5.4.
