Howard L. Jones, and v. State Farm Mutual Insurance Company
U.S. Court of Appeals for the Ninth Circuit · Decided March 6, 1972 · Chambers, Goodwin, Per Curiam, Schwartz
457 F.2d 794; 1972 U.S. App. LEXIS 10926 (Federal Reporter, Second Series)

Howard L. Jones, and v. State Farm Mutual Insurance Company

Opinion

PER CURIAM:

The judgment of the district court denying coverage by State Farm Mutual (on its policy issued to Price, employer of Purdom, the driver of the pick-up truck that injured plaintiff Jones) is affirmed.

The pick-up was owned by Purdom and he was engaged in the business of Price at the time of the accident.

We agree with the district court that the business exclusion clause of State Farm Mutual’s policy lets State Farm Mutual escape.
