   U.S. Court of Appeals Case No:  15-1076
   U.S. District Court for the District of Minnesota - Minneapolis   
[PUBLISHED] [Colloton, Author, with Smith, Chief Judge, and Loken, Circuit Judge] Civil case - Insurance. In action seeking indemnity and defense costs for underlying litigation settlements under professional liability excess insurance policies issued by UnitedHealth, the district court did not err in granting the defendant insurance companies' motion for summary judgment on the ground that UnitedHealth did not present sufficient evidence on how a settlement was allocated between covered and non-covered claims; under Minnesota law, it is not enough for UnitedHealth to simply show that the entire $350 million settlement included a covered claim of an unspecified amount; UnitedHealth bears the burden to allocate the settlement between the potentially covered suit and the non-covered suit with enough specificity to permit a reasoned judgment about liability; UnitedHealth waived its objection to the court's order on defense costs.
