U.S. Court of Appeals Case No: 13-1688
and No: 13-1742
U.S. District Court for the Western District of Missouri - Kansas City
[PUBLISHED] [Loken, Author, with Bye and Colloton, Circuit Judges]
Civil case - Insurance. The district court erred when it determined that
the driver of a non-company owned vehicle was acting in the course of
defendant's business when he struck a pedestrian as he was not acting on
the defendant's business as a matter of law, and the insurer was entitled
to summary judgment on the coverage issue; defendants' cross-appeal is an
alternative argument in support of the district court's decision and is an
unnecessary complication of the case; the cross-appeal is dismissed; in
any event, the district court did not err in determining that defendants
were entitled to summary judgment based on a collateral estoppel theory.
Judge Bye, concurring in part and dissenting in part.
