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.
