JAMES E. GRAVES, JR., Circuit
Judge, specially concurring:
I write separately because I would conclude that the underlying action seeking to compel arbitration here is clearly an “action for a money judgment” under Louisiana’s non-resident attachment statute. See La. Code Civ. Proc. art. 3542. As the majority acknowledges, Daewoo has made it clear from the outset that it would be pursuing a money judgment. The “nature, character, or origin of the claim” just happens to be arbitration. La. Code Civ. Proc. art. 3542. Nevertheless, I concur with the conclusion ultimately reached by the majority.
