ORDER

_________________________________

Before TYMKOVICH, GORSUCH, and PHILLIPS, Circuit Judges.

_________________________________

This matter is before us on a petition for permission to appeal pursuant to 28 

U.S.C. § 1292(b) and Federal Rule of Appellate Procedure 5. Andrew Alwert and 

Stanley Feldman, the named plaintiffs in two putative class actions that are part of 

multidistrict litigation consolidated in the Western District of Oklahoma, seek to appeal 

the district court’s orders granting Defendant Cox Communications, Inc.’s motions to 

compel arbitration in both cases. Cox filed a response in opposition to the petition.

Upon careful consideration of the petition, the response, and the applicable law, 

the petition for permission to appeal is granted. Messrs. Alwert and Feldman are granted 

permission to appeal the district court’s arbitration orders. This grant of permission will 

result in two separate appeals in this court.

Within 14 days from the date of this order, Messrs. Alwert and Feldman shall each 

separately pay to the district court all required fees. Fed. R. App. P. 5(d)(1)(a). After the 

fees have been paid and the district court clerk has complied with Federal Rule of 

Appellate Procedure 5(d)(3), two new appeals with new case numbers will be opened. 

Notices of appeal need not be filed. The date of this order serves as the date of the notice 

of appeal for calculating time under the Federal Rules of Appellate Procedure and the 

Tenth Circuit Rules. Fed. R. App. P. 5(d)(2). 

Once the appeals are opened, they will proceed in accordance with all the usual 

Federal Rules of Appellate Procedure and local rules of this court.
