Opinion of the Court
ALVIN B. RUBIN, Circuit Judge:
After the rendition of a panel opinion, Aretz v. United States, 604 F. 2d 417 (5th Cir. 1979), we granted rehearing en banc, 616 F. 2d 254 (5th Cir. 1980). Thereafter, pursuant to Georgia Code § 24-3902, we certified the state law questions in this case to the Georgia Supreme Court. 635 F. 2d 485 (5th Cir.). The Georgia court has now answered those questions. United States v. Aretz, 248 Ga. 19, 280 S.E. 2d 345 (1981).
Adopting the conclusions of the Georgia Supreme Court regarding Georgia law, we reinstate the panel decision, affirm the district court, 503 F.Supp. 260, 456 F.Supp. 397, and remand the case to the district court for further proceedings consistent with these two opinions.
AFFIRMED and REMANDED.
