091774P.pdf   09/08/2010  Scottsdale Insurance Company  v.  Universal Crop Protection
   U.S. Court of Appeals Case No:  09-1774
   U.S. District Court for the District of Minnesota - Minneapolis   
   [PUBLISHED] [Riley, Author, with John R. Gibson and Murphy,
   Circuit Judges]
   Civil case - insurance. District court did not err in concluding the
   amount in controversy in this declaratory judgment action exceeded
   $75,000 at the time the action was filed; parties' dispute was ripe for
   adjudication; the pollution exclusion in the policy in question was broad
   and unambiguously relieved the insurer of the duty to defend or
   indemnify Universal from cotton farmers' claims for pesticide damage to
   their crops.
