Policyholder alleged that he was assaulted, battered, and robbed in cab, and by his testimony in underlying case he is judicially estopped from claiming that material issue of fact exists, and from presenting a new position in a legal proceeding contrary to position successfully argued in earlier proceeding. Thus, his injuries did not arise out of ownership or use of auto as provided by cab's insurance policy. (LAMPKIN and PALMER, concurring.)
