1Per curiam
The facts in this case are fully set forth in our certification to the Louisiana Supreme Court, 626 F.2d 1324, and in its opinion, which is attached. The Louisiana Supreme Court’s answers to our questions, 398 So.2d 1374, establish that the amount in controversy exceeds $10,000 and that, therefore, the United States District Court had jurisdiction. Accordingly, the judgment of the district court dismissing the case is REVERSED, and the case is REMANDED for further proceedings consistent with the opinion of the Louisiana Supreme Court.
