                 Defendant - Appellant

                   Appeal from the United States District Court
                      for the Western District of Louisiana
                    USDC Nos. 2:10-CV-278 & 2:10-CV-1041

Before KING, JOLLY, and HAYNES, Circuit Judges.
PER CURIAM:*
       Having considered the parties’ briefs and the supplemental letter briefs
filed pursuant to our directive, we DISMISS this case because the order
compelling arbitration is an interlocutory order over which we lack appellate
jurisdiction under the United Nations Convention on the Recognition and
Enforcement of Foreign Arbitral Awards, 9 U.S.C. §§ 201–08, and the Federal
Arbitration Act, 9 U.S.C. §§ 1–16.               See Sw. Elec. Power Co. v. Certain
Underwriters at Lloyds of London, 772 F.3d 384 (5th Cir. 2014). The motion
to amend appellate caption is DENIED as moot.
       APPEAL DISMISSED; CASE REMANDED (to district court); MOTION
DENIED.

       * 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 R. 47.5, the court has determined that this opinion should not
be published and is not precedent except under the limited circumstances set forth in 5TH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.
