121599P.pdf 07/31/2013 Lexington Insurance Company v. Fidelity National Financial,
U.S. Court of Appeals Case No: 12-1599
U.S. District Court for the Eastern District of Missouri - St. Louis
[PUBLISHED] [Melloy, Author, with Riley, Chief Judge, and Wollman, Circuit
Judge]
Civil case - Insurance. District court did not abuse its discretion in
denying a motion to stay this declaratory judgment action pending related
state court litigation as it not likely that the state court actions would
clarify and resolve the issues in the declaratory judgment action;
district court did not err in interpreting the provisions of the errors &
omissions policy at issue and in finding that coverage was excluded under
both the prior-knowledge and the lien-waiver exclusion provisions.
