   U.S. Court of Appeals Case No:  09-2324
   U.S. District Court for the Eastern District of Missouri - St. Louis   
   [PUBLISHED] [Murphy, Author, with Bye, Circuit Judges, and Strom,
   District Judge]
   Civil case - insurance. After considering Missouri case law and the
   provisions of the policy in question, the policy's provision on the
   insured's cooperation was not ambiguous and required the insured's full
   cooperation and assistance with preparation and trial of claim, and the
   district court did not err in finding that the insured materially breached
   the cooperation clause; insurer did not waive its rights under the
   provision, nor was it estopped from asserting them.
