U.S. Court of Appeals for the Fifth Circuit

MK Mall Holdings v. Underwriters at Lloyds

September 4, 2026

Summary

The Fifth Circuit vacated a district‑court order entered while the appeal was pending because the court lacked jurisdiction, and then dismissed the appeal as moot after the district court stayed the case pending arbitration. The court held that no further relief was available and that the mootness exception did not apply.
