ON PETITION FOR REHEARING
(Opinion April 11, 1983, 11 Cir., 1983, 702 F.2d 907)
Before GODBOLD, Chief Judge, RO-NEY, Circuit Judge, and PITTMAN , District Judge.
Honorable Virgil Pittman, U.S. District Judge for the Southern District of Alabama, sitting by designation.
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.
