   U.S. Court of Appeals Case No:  13-2915
   U.S. District Court for the District of Minnesota - Minneapolis   
   [PUBLISHED] [Smith, Author, with Murphy and Gruender, Circuit Judges] 
   Civil case - Insurance. Western National adequately pleaded its theory of 
   the case and the district court did not err in denying Acuity's motion in 
   limine; Western National had standing as a potential excess insurer to 
   challenge the interpretation and application of contract terms between 
   Acuity and the insured even if it was not a party to that insurance 
   contract; the district court did not err in rejecting Acuity's requests 
   for instructions regarding contract reformation as the case pivoted on the 
   question of whether Acuity had removed a vehicle from coverage without the 
   insured's consent rather than the question of contract reformation; the 
   court did not err in allowing the insured to participate in the case after 
   he settled with Acuity, as his participation was de minimus and did not 
   adversely affect the jury verdict.
