9th Circuit Panel Denies Motion For Reconsideration In Bad Faith Lawsuit

Mealey's (March 29, 2016, 1:14 PM EDT) -- SAN FRANCISCO — Without providing further detail, a Ninth Circuit U.S. Court of Appeals panel on March 25 denied a motion for rehearing and filed an amended memorandum in an insurance breach of contract and bad faith lawsuit where the panel previously ruled that a federal district court did not err in granting partial summary judgment in favor of an insurer because the insurer had no duty to defend its insureds in a tort action (Michael Zimmerman, et al. v. Allstate Insurance Co., No. 13-57091, 9th Cir.; 2016 U.S. App. LEXIS 5655)....
