ORDER
Upon consideration of the Petition for Rehearing filed by Appellant and Cross-Appel-lee, Kuwait Airways Corporation, claiming that KAC’s claim for punitive damages *467based on conversion should have been submitted to the jury, it is
ORDERED that this question should be reconsidered by the trial court along with the other issues that have been remanded in this case, see supra, p. 456. If there is a retrial of this case, we leave it to the District Court in the first instance to determine whether, on any claim of conversion, there is sufficient evidence to submit a question of punitive damages to the jury. See Parker v. Stein, 557 A.2d 1319, 1322 (D.C.1989); Mason v. Rostad, 476 A.2d 662, 667 (D.C.1984).
