ON PETITION FOR REHEARING
PER CURIAM:
It is ordered that the petition for rehearing filed in the above entitled and numbered cause be and the same is hereby denied.
We note, in addition, the appellant’s request that our opinion of August 6, 1970, be modified to provide that Pacific shall not be estopped to later deny coverage under the policy by defending the state court action against its assured. As authority for this requested reservation of rights, Pacific cites Dairyland Insurance Co. v. Frith, 419 F.2d 1325 (5th Cir. 1970), which contained language of the same import. In Dairyland, however, the court was exercising its equitable powers under the particular facts of that case. Under the facts presented in the instant case, we do not deem it appropriate to secure to Pacific the requested reservation of rights.
