In Weems v. Jefferson-Pilot Life Insurance Co., 663 So.2d 905
(Ala. 1995), cert. denied, ___ U.S. ___, 116 S.Ct. 434,133 L.Ed.2d 348 (1995), I dissented from the holding that a plaintiff had the right to a jury trial in an ERISA action. I dissented on the basis of Blake v. Unionmutual Stock Life Ins.Co., 906 F.2d 1525 (11th Cir. 1990). However, because the United States Supreme Court denied certiorari review in Weems, I join the majority in denying the writ of mandamus in this case.
HOOPER, C.J., and MADDOX, J., concur.
