HILTON ASSOCIATES, INC., PLAINTIFF-APPELLANT, v. STAN MUSIAL AND BIGGIE'S, INC., SUNCOAST INTERNATIONAL INNS, LTD., EDWARD J. STERN, MARIEMONT INVESTMENT, E.J. STERN, INC., DEFENDANTS-APPELLEES. ON PETITION FOR REHEARING [2] (Opinion April 11, 1983, 11 Cir., 1983, 702 F.2d 907) PER CURIAM: R.C. Hilton Associates, Inc. requests a rehearing based on the contention that this court's treatment of its claim for tortious interference with a business relationship, see 702 F.2d 907 (11th Cir. 1983), is inconsistent with Florida law. In our earlier opinion we did not intend to imply that an enforceable contract between plaintiff and a third party is an essential element of a claim for tortious interference with a business relationship. Hilton's claim fails because he did not establish the existence of an advantageous relationship with Stan Musial and Biggie's, Inc. The petition for rehearing is DENIED.
