Accordingly, we request the West Virginia Supreme Court of Appeals to defer action on our order of reference so that we may remand the case to the United States District Court from which the  CHARLESTON AREA MEDICAL CENTER v. PARKE-DAVIS 3 appeal was taken for the limited purpose of examining the question of whether or not Parke-Davis and Pfizer have been or have not been so released. A reply from the West Virginia Supreme Court of Appeals is respectfully requested at its convenience. With the concurrences of Judge Wilkinson and Judge Niemeyer. /s/ H.E. Widener, Jr. For the Court
