Allen v. R & H Oil & Gas Co.

IN THE UNITED STATES COURT OF APPEALS FOR THE FIFTH CIRCUIT _______________ No. 94-60444 _______________ BARBARA ALLEN, et al., Plaintiffs-Appellants, versus R & H OIL & GAS COMPANY, et al., Defendants, TRI-STATE OIL SERVICES, INC., Defendant-Appellee. _________________________ Appeal from the United States District Court for the Southern District of Mississippi _________________________ 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.
