EN BANC.
The United States Court of Appeals for the Fifth Circuit has certified this cause to this Court, asking that we decide the following questions of law:
Whether (1) mental anguish damages; (2) damages for cancer as a probable future consequence, and (3) punitive damages are available in asbestos products liability actions. 757 F.2d 614.
A majority of this Court after considering these issues will decline certification.
Therefore, we respectfully decline to rule upon the questions presented.
