213087P.pdf   02/27/2023  Mark Rossi  v.  Arch Insurance Company
   U.S. Court of Appeals Case No:  21-3087
   U.S. District Court for the Western District of Missouri - Kansas City   
[PUBLISHED] [Kelly, Author, with Smith, Chief Judge, and Grasz, Circuit Judge] Civil case - Insurance. When plaintiffs purchased an Ikon multi-resort ski pass, they also bought an optional "Ski Pass Preserver" insurance policy from defendant for the 2019-2020 ski season; plaintiffs' use of the Ikon pass was impacted by COVID-19 restrictions, and they sought reimbursement for the lost part of the ski season, arguing they were "quarantined" within the meaning of the policy; while the word is not defined in the policy, read together with the surrounding conditions, the word quarantine implies a restriction akin to compulsory or compelled isolation; plaintiffs did not suffer quarantine within the meaning of the policy's coverage; the complaint did not plausibly allege that the stay-at-home orders and related ski resort closures were quarantines within the meaning of the insurance policy and thus did not plausibly allege a loss based on a covered event. Judge Grasz, concurring in the judgment.
