U.S. Court of Appeals Case No: 99-3631
and No: 99-3632
Eastern District of Arkansas
Civil case. Insurance company's declaratory judgment that
liability policy did not cover damages from failure of converted

business risk exclusions precluded coverage for damages is

coverage for catastrophic failure of converted engines,
including the defective engine components. Judge Bye dissents.
