ALAIMO, Chief District Judge:

In its second appearance before this Court,1 this case presents a question concerning Alabama damages law. The district court granted summary judgment in favor of Merrill Lynch on the basis that appellant Limbaugh had not demonstrated any actual injury and, hence, was not entitled to recover either compensatory or punitive damages under Alabama law.
