HAYNES, Circuit Judge,
concurring in the judgment only:
I do not agree that the district court lacked subject matter jurisdiction to proceed. However, I concur in the judgment of the court affirming the dismissal of this case because the district court has broad discretion in deciding whether to determine or dismiss a declaratory judgment action. Orix Credit All., Inc. v. Wolfe, 212 F.3d 891, 895 (5th Cir. 2000); see also Travelers Ins. Co. v. La. Farm Bureau Fed’n, Inc., 996 F.2d 774, 778 (5th Cir. 1993). The facts of this case place it within that broad discretion.
