Barbara ELAM; Bobby Elam, Plaintiffs-Appellees v. The KANSAS CITY SOUTHERN RAILWAY COMPANY; Ronald L. Michael, Defendants-Appellants.
    No. 11-60363.
    United States Court of Appeals, Fifth Circuit.
    March 26, 2012.
    
      Casey Langston Lott, Esq., Duncan Lee Lott, Esq., Langston & Lott, P.A., Boone-ville, MS, for Plaintiffs-Appellees.
    Charles Edwin Ross, Esq., Katherine Hall Allison, Esq., Dennis Jason Childress, Esq., Wise Carter Child & Caraway, P.A., Jackson, MS, for Defendants-Appellants.
    Before JOLLY, DAVIS, and BARKSDALE, Circuit Judges.
   PER CURIAM:

This is the second appeal in this matter. See Elam v. Kan. City S. Ry. Co., 635 F.3d 796 (5th Cir.2011). After reviewing the briefs, hearing oral argument, reviewing the parties’ supplemental briefs, and considering pertinent parts of the record, we have concluded that, on remand following the first appeal, the district court committed no error in remanding all claims remaining in federal court to state court. We further conclude that we lack appellate jurisdiction over the district court’s order denying summary judgment in favor of Kansas City Southern Railway (KCSR) on the grounds that although the order denying summary judgment preceded the remand order in both logic and fact, the order is not conclusive of any claim and that KCSR’s asserted defenses may be properly considered and addressed in state court. See Regan v. Starcraft Marine, LLC, 524 F.3d 627 (5th Cir.2008).

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       Pursuant to 5th Cir. R. 47.5, the court has determined that this opinion should not be published and is not precedent except under the limited circumstances set forth in 5th Cir. R. 47.5.4.
