Mackinnon v. St. Louis Southwestern

MADDOX, Justice St. Louis Southwestern filed an application for rehearing, in which it makes four arguments: (1) that the
opinion failed to follow well-established United States Supreme Court precedent in this FELA case; (2) that the opinion failed
to set forth the salient facts that allegedly supported the Court's decision; (3) that the decision promulgates bad policy
and casts an impermissible burden upon railroads that merely solicit business in Alabama; and (4) that this decision required
St. Louis Southwestern Railway Company to litigate this FELA claim in Alabama in violation of federal due process standards. We find that the arguments made by St. Louis Southwestern on rehearing are basically the same arguments that were made in
its brief on appeal; therefore, we overrule its application for rehearing.
