{¶ 3} Appellant, Lynn M. Neier, filed UM/UIM claims pursuant toScott-Pontzer, supra, against appellees, Federal Insurance Company ("Federal") and OHIC Insurance Company ("OHIC"), her employer's insurers. The trial court granted summary judgment in favor of the insurance providers.

Therefore, it is undisputed that she was not acting within the scope of her employer's business when the accident related to her UM/UIM claims occurred.

{¶ 6} Neier's four assignments of error are not well-taken.
