PER CURIAM.

In Pfeifer v.

Bolubasz, 491 Pa. 561, 421 A.2d 1027 (1980). Jones Laughlin petitioned the Supreme Court for review, and the Court granted the petition for writ of certiorari. ___ U.S. ___, 103 S.Ct. 50, 74 L.Ed.2d 57 (1982).

On June 15, 1983, the Supreme Court held that the district court erred in considering itself bound by Kaczkowski, vacated our judgment, and remanded. Jones Laughlin Steel Corp. v. Pfeifer, ___ U.S. ___, 103 S.Ct. 2541, 76 L.Ed.2d 768 (1983).

The judgment of the district court will be vacated and the cause remanded to the district court for further proceedings consistent with the opinion of the Supreme Court.
