                      Appeal from the United States District Court
                          for the Southern District of Texas
                               USDC No. 4:21-MC-2391
                      ______________________________

   Before Dennis, Engelhardt, and Oldham, Circuit Judges.
   Per Curiam: *
          This appeal concerns 28 U.S.C. § 1782, which “seeks to facilitate
   third-party discovery in American district courts, from subjects that reside or
   are found in the district, in aid of ‘interested parties’ in ‘foreign
   proceedings.’” Banca Pueyo SA v. Lone Star Fund IX (US), L.P., 55 F.4th
   469, 473 (5th Cir. 2022) (citations omitted). Appellant Venequip, S.A.
   (“Venequip”) challenges the district court’s denial of its § 1782 application,

Case: 22-20520    Document: 00516848346          Page: 2   Date Filed: 08/07/2023

                                  No. 22-20520

   wherein it sought an order requiring appellee Mustang Machinery Company,
   L.L.C. (“Mustang”) to produce certain discovery located in the United
   States for use in a Swiss action to which Mustang is not a party. Having
   reviewed the briefs, record, and opinion of the district court, and having
   heard oral argument, we see no reversable error of law. AFFIRMED. See
   5TH CIR. R. 47.6.
