OPINION

PER CURIAM:

Imperial Casualty and Indemnity Company appeals an order of the district court requiring it to defend Radiator Specialty Company in twenty-six lawsuits alleging injuries resulting from occupational exposure to asbestos. We have considered the briefs and arguments of the parties, and we affirm the judgment of the district court for the reasons stated in its cogent memorandum opinion, which we adopt as our own. Imperial Casualty and Indemnity Co. v. Radiator Specialty Co., 862 F.Supp. 1437 (E.D.N.C. 1994), as amended, Imperial Casualty and Indemnity Co. v. Radiator Specialty Co., No. 93-209-CIV-5-D (E.D.N.C., Sept. 19, 1994). *

AFFIRMED.

The September 19 amendment simply corrected an error in the penultimate paragraph of the *535 opinion, substituting “twenty-six” cases for "twenty-five." This correction does not appear in the published version of the opinion.
