   U.S. Court of Appeals Case No:  12-3445
   U.S. District Court for the Eastern District of Arkansas - Little Rock   
[PUBLISHED] [Murphy, Author, with Melloy and Shepherd, Circuit Judges] Civil Case - National Flood Insurance. District court properly dismissed claims for specific performance, unjust enrichment, and bad faith under their Standard Flood Insurance Policy as preempted by the National Flood Insurance Act. In addition, extracontractual claims brought under federal common law are also preempted. The district court properly quashed the jury request. The district court's grant of summary judgment to the insurers is affirmed, as the Gunders failed to file a supplemental proof of loss and thus failed to satisfy the prerequisites of suing on their additional claims after their home was deemed uninhabitable. Compliance with the requirements must be strictly construed. Estoppel and duress arguments failed; doctrine of repudiation does not apply, and due process is not violated. Summary judgment in favor of supplemental insurance carrier is also affirmed, as coverage is not available because exhaustion of primary policy is first required.
