No. 18-30829

Platinum Packing eligible for compensation, but not in the full amount that Platinum Packing had sought. CSSP’s internal Appeal Panel affirmed the award amount. Platinum Packing sought discretionary review from the district court, which the district court declined to grant. Platinum Packing now timely appeals the district court’s denial of discretionary review.

The Appeal Panel decision at issue “involves no pressing question of how the Settlement Agreement should be interpreted or implemented, but simply raises the correctness of a discretionary administrative decision in the facts of a single claimant’s case.” Claimant ID 100212278 v. BP Expl. & Prod., Inc., 848 F.3d 407, 410 (5th Cir. 2017) (internal quotations omitted). We therefore AFFIRM.
