On Petition for Rehearing
(No. 13346)
The respondent herein has filed a petition seeking a rehearing and reconsideration of the cause; moving the Court to certify stated questions to the Supreme Court, and further moving that the issuance of the mandate be stayed pending final'determination by the Supreme Court of such questions and upon his petition to that Court “for a writ of prohibition, mandamus and/or certiorari” to this Court.
From the respondent’s allegations it is clear that this Court misconceived the respondent’s intention in praying the instructions of this Court as to the proper procedure in the premises, referred to in the orig*771inal opinion, and in consideration of which this Court did not direct the issuance of the writ of mandamus. Since further proceedings are contemplated, it is necessary that final and definitive judgment should be rendered as a predicate for them. The opinion heretofore rendered by the Court is amended by adding to it the direction hereby given, to-wit, that the writ of mandamus should issue from this Court as prayed by the petitioner, Atlantic Coast Line Railroad Company, directing the respondent to disregard, vacate and set aside the order directing the transfer of the cause of Flora Davis against Atlantic Coast Line Railroad Company to the Southern District of New York, and to restore the cause to the trial docket of the United States District Court for the Southern District of Florida, Jacksonville Division, as if no order of transfer had been entered.
The petition for rehearing and certification of questions to the Supreme Court is denied. The Court will direct a stay of the enforcement of the writ and of the issuance of the mandate to afford opportunity for the appellate proceedings desired to be undertaken by respondent.
