PER CURIAM:

BACKGROUND

1
On September 2, 1990, Ravella Burns ("Burns") was involved in a two vehicle accident in Adams County, Mississippi, and died as a result of that accident.  The other vehicle involved in the accident was driven by Joseph R. Ware and neither Ware nor the vehicle he was driving was covered by any automobile liability insurance at the time of the accident.  Burns, however, was insured pursuant to the terms of an automobile insurance policy issued by Allstate.  The Allstate policy provided uninsured motorist coverage for Burns' vehicle involved in the accident, as well as two other vehicles.  Pursuant to its interpretation of its policy, Allstate paid to the estate and representatives of Burns $10,000 in uninsured motorist coverage benefits.  The wrongful death beneficiaries of Burns, the plaintiffs in this action, assert that even though the Allstate policy contains an "anti-stacking" provision, the uninsured motorist coverage should be stacked to provide a total recovery of $30,000 (i.e., $10,000 for each of the three covered vehicles).  They claim Allstate owes them an additional $20,000 in uninsured motorist benefits.  Allstate admits that the plaintiffs, as the wrongful death beneficiaries of Burns, have suffered damages of at least $30,000.

After this lawsuit was initiated, the district court entered an order on April 28, 1995, staying this action pending a decision by the Mississippi Supreme Court in Harrison v. Allstate, 662 So.2d 1092 (Miss.1995).  The Harrison decision was rendered on October 26, 1995, and held that (1) the insured could stack two bodily injury uninsured motorist coverages;  and (2) Allstate could not be liable for punitive damages because the issue presented was one of first impression in Mississippi.  Id. at 1094-95.   The Mississippi Supreme Court, however, declined to consider and Harrison did not consider the issue presented in this case, i.e., if more than two cars are covered by the insurance policy, does the premium charge for uninsured motorist coverage permit the stacking as to each additional car.  Because of Harrison, Allstate paid to the plaintiffs an additional $10,000 plus interest but denies that it owes any additional coverage for the third car covered by Burns' policy.  Allstate moved for summary judgment and the district court granted such motion by an opinion and order filed under date of July 9, 1996, and entered final judgment on July 9, 1996, in favor of Allstate.  The plaintiffs timely appealed.
