Atlantic Casualty Insurance v. De Anda
Atlantic Casualty Insurance v. De Anda
Opinion
Before this court, Defendants-Appellants Fernando De Anda, d/b/a Reyes Construction and Cutter Aviation, Inc. contend that the district court erroneously granted Plaintiff-Appellee Atlantic Casualty Insurance Company’s motion for summary judgment. Having reviewed the parties’ briefs, heard oral argument, and considered the record under our de novo review, we disagree. The terms “driveway, parking area, or sidewalk” are unambiguous, and when they are given their plain meaning, see Certain Underwriters at Lloyd’s London v. C.A. Turner Construction Co. Inc., 112 F.3d 184, 186 (5th Cir. 1997) (“Under Texas rules of contractual interpretation, if an insurance contract is expressed in unambiguous language, its terms will be given their plain meaning and it will be enforced as written.” (internal citation omitted)), none of those terms encompass an airport taxiway. Accordingly, we AFFIRM.
Pursuant to 5th Cir. R. 47.5, the court has determined that this opinion should not be published and is not precedent except under the limited circumstances set forth in 5th Cir. R. 47.5.4.
