Ruby M. Bohannan, Plaintiff-appellant, v. Allstate Insurance Company, an Illinois Corporation,defendant-appellee, 941 F.2d 1213 (10th Cir. 1991)

After examining the briefs and appellate record, this panel has determined unanimously that oral argument would not materially assist the determination of this appeal. See Fed. R. App. P. 34(a); 10th Cir.R. 34.1.9. The case is therefore ordered submitted without oral argument.

This is a diversity case. Resolution of the underlying controversy depends on the Oklahoma choice of law rules. Because the decisions of the Oklahoma Supreme Court appeared to provide no authoritative interpretation of those rules as they apply to the circumstances of this case, we certified the controlling question of state law to that court.

The Oklahoma Supreme Court has now answered the certified question. Bohannan v. Allstate, --- P.2d ---- (Okla.S. Ct. July 2, 1991). It has now been authoritatively determined that Oklahoma law governs the application and effect of the policy of uninsured motorist insurance issued to plaintiff by defendant-appellee in California.

The judgment of the United States District Court for the Western District of Oklahoma is VACATED and the matter REMANDED for further proceedings consistent with the opinion of the Oklahoma Supreme Court.
