Court of Appeals for the Fifth Circuit

Decided February 17, 1976No. 75-3203PublishedCited by 9 opinions

1Per curiam

This diversity appeal presents important issues of Alabama law which we believe are particularly appropriate for resolution by the Supreme Court of Alabama. Thus, we defer decision in the cause and certify the issues to the Supreme Court of Alabama.

Following our practice, see West v. Caterpillar Tractor Co., Inc., 5 Cir. 1974, 504 F.2d 967, we requested that the parties submit a proposed agreed statement of the case and certificate of issues for decision. The parties have agreed on the statement of the case and the three issues certified.
