ORDER
PER CURIAM.
Plaintiff-appellant has filed a motion for rehearing of our judgment which was entered on January 14, 1970, 7 Cir., 428 F.2d 385. We there held that under a recent ruling of the Indiana Supreme Court, appellant had the legal right to bring a suit for loss of consortium due to injuries received by her husband. We further held that plaintiff’s claim in the instant case was barred by the exclusive remedy provision of the Indiana Workmen’s Compensation Act.
In her petition for rehearing, appellant states that a cause of action identical to the one which has been and is before us, is now pending before the Appellate Court of Indiana (Cause No. 3511), having been argued orally before that Court on January 6, 1970. The petition further states that whatever the decision in the Appellate Court may be, transfer will almost certainly be sought to the Supreme Court of Indiana.
It is ordered, that the petition for rehearing of our judgment herein filed on January 14, 1970, be and the same is hereby denied, but subject to permission to file a petition for a reopening should the Supreme Court of Indiana decide the law to the contrary in the ease between the same parties and which is now pending before the Indiana Appellate Court. Petition for rehearing by plaintiff-appellant is
Denied
