Appeal from the United States District Court

November 16, 1995
ON PETITION FOR REHEARING AND SUGGESTION FOR REHEARING EN BANC

(Opinion August 29, 1995, 5th Cir., 1995, ____ F.3d ____)

Before JOLLY, SMITH, and DeMOSS, Circuit Judges.

PER CURIAM:

The petition for rehearing is DENIED, and no member of the

panel or judge in regular active service having requested that

the court be polled on rehearing en banc (see FED. R. APP. P. 35

and 5TH CIR. R. 35), the suggestion for rehearing en banc is

DENIED. Although the panel members have some disagreement

regarding the interpretation of Mississippi law, the panel is of

the unanimous view that the opinion in this case specifically

reflects a result under the Mississippi law of punitive damages

and is not to be construed as a comment on any similar case that

might arise under the law of any other state.
