Appeals from the United States District Court for the Southern District of Florida _________________________

(January 18, 2011)

Before BARKETT, MARCUS and FAY, Circuit Judges.

PER CURIAM:

Mercedes Zota, Lighthouse Intracoastal, Inc., Jack Farji, and Broward

Executive Builders, Inc. appeal from a Final Declaratory Judgment in favor of

Essex Insurance Company concluding that there is no coverage for Zota’s injury

under the liability insurance policy issued by Essex to Lighthouse and therefore,

Essex was not required to indemnify Lighthouse or defend it with regard to Zota’s

state court negligence action. Essex also cross-appeals several of the district

court’s rulings.

After having carefully considered all of the issues in this case, including

Essex’s cross-appeal, and based on the record and arguments of counsel, we find

no reversible error.

AFFIRMED.
