Depositors Insurance Co. v. NEU Construction Services Inc.
NEU CONSTRUCTION SERVICES, INC., et al., Defendants.
Depositors alleges that it first learned of the arbitration award in January 2016, after the time to appeal had passed. (Doc. 31 at ¶ 11.) NEU disputes this allegation, asserting that there is no record evidence to support it (Doc. 37 at ¶ 4), however, NEU provides no evidence to the contrary. On February 28, 2017, Depositors filed suit, seeking a declaratory judgment that it was not liable to NEU for the arbitration award because NEU's breach of contract is not covered by The Policy and because NEU failed to notify Depositors of the arbitration demand as required by The Policy. (Doc. 1.) NEU answered, alleging that Depositors' May 28, 2013, June 6, 2013, and August 26, 2014, letters stating that Depositors would not cover the damage absolved NEU from the notice requirement and advancing three counterclaims alleging that Depositors is liable for the arbitration award. (Doc. 17.) Thereafter, Depositors filed this Motion for Summary Judgment.
“Summary judgment is proper where the evidence, when viewed in a light most favorable to the non-moving party, indicates that no genuine issue of material fact exists and that the moving party is entitled to judgment as a matter of law.” Davison v. City of Minneapolis, Minn., 490 F.3d 648, 654 (8th Cir. 2007); see Fed. R. Civ. P. 56(c). Summary judgment is not appropriate if there are factual disputes that may affect the outcome of the case under the applicable substantive law. Anderson v. Liberty Lobby, Inc., 477 U.S. 242, 248 (1986). An issue of material fact is genuine if the evidence would allow a reasonable jury to return a verdict for the non-moving party. Id. “The basic inquiry is whether the evidence presents a sufficient disagreement to require submission to a jury or whether it is so one-sided that one party must prevail as a matter of law.” Diesel Machinery, Inc. v. B.R. Lee Industries, Inc., 418 F.3d 820, 832 (8th Cir. 2005) (internal quotation marks and citation omitted). The moving party has the initial burden of demonstrating the absence of a genuine issue of material fact. City of Mt. Pleasant, Iowa v. Associated Elec. Co-op., Inc., 838 F.2d 268, 273 (8th Cir. 1988). If the movant does so, the burden then shifts to the non-moving party, who must set forth affirmative evidence and specific facts showing a genuine dispute on that issue. Anderson, 477 U.S. at 249.
In determining whether summary judgment is appropriate in a particular case, the Court reviews the facts in a light most favorable to the party opposing the motion and gives that party the benefit of any inferences that logically can be drawn from those facts. The Court is required to resolve all conflicts of evidence in favor of the nonmoving party. Osborn v. E.F. Hutton & Co., Inc., 853 F.2d 616, 619 (8th Cir. 1988). In considering a motion for summary judgment, the Court may not make credibility determinations, weigh the evidence, or draw inferences from the facts. Torgerson v. City of Rochester, 643 F.3d 1031, 1042 (8th Cir. 2011).
