111277P.pdf 05/11/2012 Genesis Insurance Company v. City of Council Bluffs
U.S. Court of Appeals Case No: 11-1277
and No: 11-1741
U.S. District Court for the Southern District of Iowa - Council Bluffs
[PUBLISHED] [Smith, Author, with Bye and Colloton, Circuit Judges]
Civil case - Insurance. In action seeking a declaratory judgment as to
whether the policy Genesis issued to the City of Council Bluffs covered
civil rights actions brought by persons claiming their constitutional rights
were violated by what they contended were malicious prosecutions, the
injuries sued upon became apparent no later than 1977, the year in which
the persons bringing the civil rights suits were charged with murder; as a
result, the claimed injuries occurred, for insurance purposes, before
Genesis's policy was in place, and it was not liable.
