       2                       Opinion of the Court                  23-11844

                            ____________________

       Before ROSENBAUM, GRANT, and LUCK, Circuit Judges.
       PER CURIAM:
               Empire Indemnity Insurance Company appeals from the dis-
       trict court’s order compelling appraisal and staying the proceedings
       pending appraisal. Calusa Bay North Condominium Association,
       Inc. and Calusa Bay South Condominium Association, Inc. (collec-
       tively “Calusa Bay”) move to dismiss the appeal for lack of jurisdic-
       tion.
               We conclude that we lack jurisdiction over the district
       court’s order compelling appraisal for the reasons stated in our re-
       cent decision in Positano Place at Naples I Condo. Ass’n, Inc. v. Empire
       Indem. Ins. Co., 84 F.4th 1241 (11th Cir. 2023). Indeed, the order
       compelling appraisal and staying the proceedings pending appraisal
       is an interlocutory order that is not immediately appealable under
       28 U.S.C. § 1292(a)(1) or under the Federal Arbitration Act. See id.
       at 1245. Calusa Bay’s motion to dismiss the appeal for lack of juris-
       diction is GRANTED, and this appeal is DISMISSED.
