ON PETITION FOR REHEARING AND PETITION FOR REHEARING EN BANC

(Opinion April 17, 1981, 5 Cir. 1981, 642 F.2d 986)

Before BROWN, POLITZ and TATE, Circuit Judges.

PER CURIAM:

[*~446]1

Appellant contends that in deciding the "stacking" issue adverse to it our decision, inter alia, ignores dispositive Louisiana jurisprudence, particularly the intermediate appellate court decision in Briley v. Falati, 367 So.2d 1227 (La.App.1979). We disagree. In this diversity case we are to apply the law of Louisiana. We conclude the decision relied on by the district court, Holmes v. Reliance Ins. Co., 359 So.2d 1102 (La.App.1978), is controlling Louisiana law, more consistent with the rationale of decisions by the Louisiana Supreme Court, such as its decision in Deane v. McGee, 261 La. 686, 260 So.2d 669 (1972) which we cited. We do not agree that the decision in Briley v. Falati requires that we reject the trial court's allowance of "stacking" of uninsured motorist coverage.
