    Case: 17-60109    Document: 00514236929     Page: 2   Date Filed: 11/14/2017

                                 No. 17-60109
      This case presents an identical issue to one we recently addressed in
Green Tree Servicing, L.L.C. v. Charles, 872 F.3d 637 (5th Cir. 2017): whether
a district court’s order compelling arbitration and dismissing the case with
prejudice constitutes a final appealable order when a case involving the same
parties and essentially the same dispute is stayed in the district court pending
arbitration. We held in Charles that the district court’s order was not a final
appealable order, and we therefore dismissed for lack of jurisdiction. Id. at
639–40. We similarly DISMISS this case for lack of jurisdiction.
