Appeals from the United States District Court
for the Northern District of Georgia
_________________________
(November 17, 2010)
Before BLACK, MARTIN and COX, Circuit Judges.
PER CURIAM:

-- 1 of 2 --

Societe Nationale D’Industries Nutritive, S.A.E. (SONUT), appeals the
district court’s grant of The Coca-Cola Company’s motion to stay in case No. 09-
10942 and denial of SONUT’s motion to reconsider in case No. 09-15284. The
district court granted the motion to stay under the doctrine of international
abstention and, pursuant to the same doctrine, denied the motion to reconsider.
Based upon our review of the record, the briefs, oral argument, and the district
court’s well-reasoned opinion, we conclude the district court did not err in its
decision to grant Coca-Cola’s motion to stay, nor did it err in denying SONUT’s
motion to reconsider.
AFFIRMED.
