No. 07-51405
2
For the reasons stated in the district court’s order, we affirm the judgment
that it lacked personal jurisdiction over Lowe’s Companies, Inc. With respect to
the argument that the district court should have granted Plaintiff an
opportunity for discovery on the issue of personal jurisdiction, we deem that
argument waived because Plaintiff never requested any such relief before the
district court. See Tex. Commercial Energy v. TXU Energy, Inc., 413 F.3d 503,
510 (5th Cir. 2005) (recognizing that arguments not raised before the district
court are waived on appeal). Finally, with respect to the district court’s orders
dismissing the remaining defendants, we do not have appellate jurisdiction to
review those orders because they were not included in the notice of appeal and,
indeed, were issued after Plaintiff filed the instant notice of appeal. See Pope v.
MCI Telecomm. Corp., 937 F.2d 258, 266 (5th Cir. 1991).
AFFIRMED.
