Apartment Movers v. One Beacon Lloyds

United States Court of Appeals, Fifth Circuit
Mar 16, 2006
170 F. App'x 901 (5th Cir. 2006)

Opinion

No. 05-10354.

Decided March 16, 2006.

Anthony Alan Petrocchi, Weil Petrocchi, Dallas, TX, for Plaintiffs-Counter Defendants-Appellants.

Eggleston Chambers, Dallas, TX, for Defendant-Counter Claimant-Appellee.

Appeal from the United States District Court for the Northern District of Texas, 3:04-CV-00278.

Before HIGGINBOTHAM, DAVIS, and STEWART, Circuit Judges.


We agree with the district court that the slow down in business experienced by the insured, Apartment Movers of America, was not a "necessary suspension of your operations" so as to trigger coverage for loss of business income under defendant's policy. See Quality Oilfield Products, Inc. v. Michigan Mutual Insurance Company, 971 S.W.2d 635 (Tex.App.Houston, 1998).

We, therefore, affirm the judgment of the district court.

AFFIRMED.
