Description
This appeal arises from a dispute over insurance coverage between appellees Main Street Homes, Inc. and Main Street, Ltd. (together "Main Street"), and appellants CU Lloyd's of Texas and Potomac Insurance Company of Illinois (together "Lloyds"). Lloyds, Main Street's insurance provider, refused Main Street's request to defend Main Street in two suits brought against it. Following Lloyds' refusal, Main Street sued Lloyds, seeking, inter alia, a declaratory judgment that Lloyds had a duty to defend Main Street. *fn1 Main Street moved for partial summary judgment that its insurance policies contractually obligated Lloyds to defend it in the underlying suits. Lloyds also moved for partial summary judgment, arguing that there was no duty to defend because the underlying suits' pleadings did not allege an "occurrence" and, alternatively, that the policies' business-risk exclusions applied. The district court granted Main Street's motion and denied Lloyds'. The court then granted an agreed motion to sever, rendering the duty-to-defend issue appealable. Lloyds appeals the district court's grant of summary judgment in favor of Main Street and the denial of its own motion. We will affirm the district court's judgment.
