Alea London Limited v. Tony F. Cook

U.S. Court of Appeals for the Eleventh Circuit
Alea London Limited v. Tony F. Cook, 285 F. App'x 697 (11th Cir. 2008)

Alea London Limited v. Tony F. Cook

Opinion

PER CURIAM:

This is an appeal from the district court’s grant of summary judgment in favor of Alea London Limited (“Alea”) in a declaratory judgment action. The district court based it’s grant of summary judgment on the fact that the insured, Tony F. Cook (“Cook”), on a commercial general liability policy issued by Alea, failed to give notice to Alea of an accident, which was the basis for an underlying action in Georgia state court as required by the insurance policy. The district court further found that Cook had demonstrated no rea *698 sonable justification or excuse for failing to provide notice.

We review a district court’s grant of summary judgment de novo. Brooks v. County Comm’n of Jefferson County, Ala., 446 F.3d 1160, 1161 (11th Cir. 2006). Summary judgment is warranted when there is no genuine dispute as to any material fact. Fed.R.Civ.P. 56(c).

After reviewing the record and reading the parties’ briefs, we agree with the district court that Alea was entitled to summary judgment based on Cook’s failure to comply with the policy’s notice requirements.

AFFIRMED.
