790 F.2d 76; 1986 U.S. App. LEXIS 25284
(Federal Reporter, Second Series)
John E. Washburn, Director of Insurance for the State of Illinois v. Gene Rabun, D/B/A Rabun's Insurance Agency
Opinion
This court certified to the Supreme Court of Alabama three questions determinative of whether, under Alabama law, the federal district court was correct in holding that Washburn’s complaint stated a cause of action against Rabun individually. Washburn v. Rabun, 755 F.2d 1404 (11th Cir. 1985).
The Alabama Supreme Court has answered all three questions in the negative. Washburn v. Rabun, 487 So.2d 1361 (Ala. 1986) . The answers establish that the district court did not err in holding that Wash-bum did not state a cause of action.
AFFIRMED.
