Giles, Appellee, v. Simonds; Cincinnati Insurance Companies, Appellant.
    [Cite as Giles v. Simonds, 101 Ohio St.3d 1246, 2004-Ohio-1620.]
    (No. 2003-0796
    Submitted March 15, 2004
    Decided April 14, 2004.)
   {¶ 1} The motion for reconsideration of the entry of January 21, 2004, found at 101 Ohio St.3d 1420, 2004-Ohio-123, 802 N.E.2d 152, is denied.

Moyer, C.J., Resnick, F.E. Sweeney, Pfeifer, Lundberg Stratton, O’Connor and O’Donnell, JJ., concur.

Lundberg Stratton, J., concurs separately.

Lundberg Stratton, J.,

concurring.

{¶ 2} I concur with the decision to deny reconsideration. However, as I stated in my concurring opinion in Fish v. Ohio Cas. Ins. Co., 101 Ohio St.3d 1210, 2004-Ohio-224, 802 N.E.2d 149, I believe that Westfield Ins. Co. v. Galatis, 100 Ohio St.3d 216, 2003-Ohio-5849, 797 N.E.2d 1256, applies to all pending cases where a claim has been raised under Scott-Pontzer v. Liberty Mut. Fire Ins. Co. (1999), 85 Ohio St.3d 660, 710 N.E.2d 1116. Here, the appellate court has remanded the case to the trial court for further proceedings. The proceedings on remand should include application of Galatis.

Leonard Z. Alpert, P.C., and Leonard Z. Alpert; Aronson, Fineman & Davis Co., L.P.A., and Troy D. Barnett, for appellee.

Davis & Young and Dennis R. Fogarty, for appellant.
