Opinion:
PER CURIAM:
On June 2, 2003, the United States Supreme Court reversed our decision in this matter, holding that "an action filed in a state court to recover damages from a national bank for allegedly charging excessive interest in violation of both 'the common law usury doctrine' and an Alabama usury statute may be removed to a federal court because it actually arises under federal law." Beneficial Nat'l Bank v. Anderson, — U.S. -, 123 S.Ct. 2058, 156 L.Ed.2d 1 (2003). In light of the Supreme Court's holding, we AFFIRM and REMAND this case to the district court for further proceedings consistent with this opinion.
