Before TJOFLAT and ANDERSON Circuit Judges, and MORGAN, Senior Circuit Judge.


PER CURIAM:

In an earlier opinion reported at 793 F.2d 1518 (11th Cir.1986), we concluded that state law controls the question of the availability of punitive damages in this asbestosis case. Because there is a need for authoritative guidance from Georgia courts on this issue, we certify the question to the Georgia Supreme Court under Rule 36 of the Georgia Rules of Appellate Procedure.
