UNITED STATES COURT OF APPEALS For the Fifth Circuit
No. 01-50837 Summary Calendar
GENERAL ACCIDENT INSURANCE COMPANY,
Plaintiff, VERSUS
UNITY/WATERFORD-FAIR OAKS, LTD.,
Defendant - Cross Claimant - Appellant,
VERSUS
FIREMAN'S FUND INSURANCE COMPANY OF OHIO,
Cross Defendant - Appellee.
Appeal from the United States District Court For the Western District of Texas, San Antonio (SA-97-CV-624) November 8, 2002
Before BARKSDALE, DeMOSS, and BENAVIDES, Circuit Judges.
PER CURIAM:*
Unity/Waterford-Fair Oaks, Ltd. (Unity) filed a cross-claim
against Fireman's Fund Insurance Company of Ohio (Fireman's) for
insurance benefits under an insurance policy issued by Fireman's
relative to property damage to an apartment project complex located
* Pursuant to 5TH CIR. R. 47.5, the Court has determined that this opinion should not be published and is not precedent except under the limited circumstances set forth in 5TH CIR. R. 47.5.4. in San Antonio, Texas and owned by Unity. The Fireman's policy was
an excess policy covering damages in excess of $1,000,000.00; and
Fireman's denied that the repair cost of all damages exceeded
$1,000,000.00. The case was tried to the Court without a jury.
The district court entered extensive findings of fact and
conclusions of law and held that Unity was not entitled to recover
on the policy because the total of all losses did not exceed
$1,000,000.00 and therefore the losses were not covered by
Fireman's policy. Unity appeals to this Court.
We have carefully reviewed the briefs, the record excerpts,
and relevant portions of the record itself. For the reason and the
findings made by the district court in its findings of facts and
conclusions of law, we AFFIRM the final judgment that Unity take
nothing from Fireman's. AFFIRM.
