Before MOORE, PITMAN, STONE, STEPHENS, and ROBINSON, JJ.
Per Curiam
We granted rehearing solely for the purpose of correcting an
error in stating that Select’s insurers paid $31 million in settlement of
the Paredes lawsuit. Select’s insurers actually settled that case for $1
million. Our error was the result of transposing the settlement
amounts in the Paredes lawsuit and the Rodgers lawsuit. Our original
opinion is hereby affirmed, and is corrected as stated herein.
