Decided April 1, 1999.


Attorney(s) appearing for the Case

ARGUED: John G. Kester, Williams & Connolly, Washington, D.C., for Appellant. Barbara Kathryn Polich, Parsons, Behle & Latimer, Salt Lake City, Utah, for Appellee. ON BRIEF: James T. Fuller, III, Julia B. Shelton, Williams & Connolly, Washington, D.C., for Appellant. Lee A. Spinks, Cynthia V. McNeely, Poyner & Spruill, L.L.C., Charlotte, North Carolina, for Appellee.

Before ERVIN, MOTZ, and TRAXLER, Circuit Judges.
