Heading: The Modification Order.

Text: 41 After it granted summary judgment for Chabner, the district court ordered United to modify the policy it offered Chabner such that the policy would conform with the court's order granting summary judgment. United argues that the district court erred by ordering this modification, because the court did not specify what premium United should charge Chabner. We review the district court's order to modify the insurance policy, an equitable remedy, for abuse of discretion. See United States v. Washington, 157 F.3d 630, 643 (9th Cir. 1998); Diaz v. San Jose Unified School District , 861 F.2d 591, 595 (9th Cir. 1988). It was not an abuse of discretion. 42 The district court order merely requires United to issue Chabner a policy that conforms with its order granting summary judgment -i.e., one that is based on sound actuarial principles or actual and reasonably anticipated experience. This injunctive relief is fully authorized by California law. Cal. Bus. & Prof. Code S 17203; Cal. Civ. CodeS 52(c). 11 To comply with this order United may either issue Chabner a policy with a standard premium, or it may charge him a nonstandard premium that does conform with section 10144. In any event, giving United this choice is not an abuse of discretion in this case, and we therefore affirm the district court's order.
