Appeals from the United States District Court
For the Southern District of Mississippi
( 5:00-CV-227-BN, et al )
April 5, 2002
Before REAVLEY, HIGGINBOTHAM and PARKER, Circuit Judges.
PER CURIAM:*
*
Pursuant to 5TH CIR. R. 47.5, the Court has determined that this
opinion should not be published and is not precedent except under
the limited circumstances set forth in 5TH CIR. R. 47.5.4.
-1-
Appellants challenge the district court’s ruling granting Bank
One’s Motions to Compel Arbitration and denying their motions for
joinder and dismissal, discovery, and abstention. After hearing
oral arguments, and considering the briefs and record excepts, the
judgments of the district court granting Bank One’s Motions to
Compel Arbitration and denying the Appellant’s motions for joinder
and dismissal, discovery, and abstention are affirmed for
essentially the reasons stated in our opinion in Bank One, N.A. v.
Boyd, 00-60805, and the reasons stated by the district court in its
January 2, 2001, opinion in Bank One, N.A. v. Coates, 3:00-cv-
671LN.
AFFIRMED.
