ON PETITION FOR REHEARING
PER CURIAM:
On petition for rehearing, Phillips notes that its claim for indemnity against Halliburton was not specifically addressed in the opinion affirming the judgment of the district court. Phillips’ indemnity claim rests on the rule that allows a “passive” tort feasor a right to indemnity from an “active” tort feasor. Tri-State Oil Tool Indus., Inc., v. Delta Marine Drilling Co., 410 F.2d 178 (5th Cir. 1969). The rule does not apply in this case since, as the district court found, Phillips’ negligent use of the steel reinforced hose contributed to the accident.
The petition for rehearing is DENIED.
