United States v. Sid-Mars Restaurant & Lounge, Inc.
Court of Appeals for the Fifth Circuit

1Opinion of the Court
LESLIE H. SOUTHWICK, Circuit Judge:
Sid-Mar’s Restaurant filed suit in state court demanding compensation from the State of Louisiana for the commandeering of its real property following Hurricane Katrina. While the state court litigation was pending, the United States initiated condemnation proceedings involving part of the same property in the United States District Court for the Eastern District of Louisiana. To avoid potentially conflicting judgments, the United States sought a stay of the state court proceeding. The district court entered a stay, and Sid-Mar’s appealed.
We AFFIRM.
