    In re MINISTRY OF DEFENSE OF THE REPUBLIC OF VENEZUELA, Petitioner.
    No. 11-60296.
    United States Court of Appeals, Fifth Circuit.
    June 21, 2011.
    Mark J. Goldberg, Attorney, James L. Robertson, Esq., Wise Carter Child & Caraway, P.A., Jackson, MS, for Petitioner.
    Joseph F. Coyne, Jr., Esq., Kenneth A. O’Brien, Jr., Esq., Sheppard, Mullin, Richter & Hampton, L.L.P., Los Angeles, CA, for Respondent.
    Before WIENER, PRADO, and OWEN, Circuit Judges.
   PER CURIAM:

Petitioner Ministry of Defense of the Republic of Venezuela seeks a writ of mandamus directing the district court to vacate its order, in which that court refused to enforce an “unreasonable” forum-selection clause and, instead, compelled arbitration in the United States. After Petitioner appealed the district court’s order to us, we dismissed that appeal for lack of jurisdiction. We now deny Petitioner’s petition for writ of mandamus.

Time and again, we have said that mandamus is not to be used as a substitute for appeal. Petitioner has not demonstrated that the district court has exceeded the lawful exercise of its prescribed jurisdiction. We repeat: “The Supreme Court has held that courts may generally set aside forum-selection clauses where enforcement would be ‘unreasonable.’ ” We decided this matter when we denied Petitioner’s appeal, so Petitioner must now await the district court’s final, appealable judgment before it may appeal the merits of that court’s forum determination.

Petition for writ of mandamus is DENIED. 
      
       Pursuant to 5th Cir. R. 47.5, the court has determined that this opinion should not be published and is not precedent except under the limited circumstances set forth in 5th Cir. R. 47.5.4.
