OPINION
PER CURIAM:

1
By order of January 15, 1992, the court directed that this case be submitted on the briefs and held for resolution in light of No. 902229, Mitcheson v. Harris (4th Cir.  Jan. 29, 1992).   As the district court recognized, "the definitions of 'occurrence' and 'bodily injury' ... are identical" in the policies at issue in this case and Mitcheson, and the facts regarding the alleged lead poisoning are also the same in both cases.   This case, therefore, is remanded with directions that it be dismissed under the authority of Mitcheson.   The dismissal, of course, is to be without prejudice to any action that may be brought in state court.
