Heading: Enhanced Obligation of Good Faith

Text: As previously stated, Georgia-Pacific and Lumbermens filed a counterclaim, alleging that Colony had breached its enhanced obligation of good faith in defending Georgia-Pacific under a reservation of rights. The trial court entered a summary judgment in favor of Colony. Colony argues, and it is undisputed, that the underlying case has been settled within the policy limits provided by the Colony policy and that Georgia-Pacific was privy to and agreed to the settlement. Accordingly, we conclude that Georgia-Pacific and Lumbermens' counterclaim against Colony was moot, and the trial court's summary judgment for Colony on that counterclaim is due to be affirmed. 1071593  AFFIRMED. 1071604  AFFIRMED. COBB, C.J., and LYONS, WOODALL, STUART, SMITH, PARKER, and SHAW, JJ., concur. MURDOCK, J., concurs in part and concurs in the result in part.
