Heading: Removal of Lee as Named Individual Insured from Policy

Text: ¶ 17 Lee also contends that there are disputed genuine issues of material fact regarding the policy endorsement which removed Lee as a personally-named insured in the Declarations portion of the policy. An amendment deleting that reference is disputed by Lee as being ineffective and raising factual issues requiring trial. ¶ 18 Great Divide argues that Lee conceded in his Reply Brief to the District Court that the amendment of the named insured was authentic and in place at the time of the accident. Great Divide also contends that Lee acknowledged the effectiveness of the policy amendment deleting the reference to him individually and that it was merely a correction of a scrivener's error. ¶ 19 Here, a policy amendment removed Bryan Lee DBA as a named insured. This amendment is consistent with the language of the policy limiting UM coverage to only those individuals occupying covered vehicles. Lee conceded the authenticity and applicability of the change in his Reply Brief Supporting Partial Summary Judgment on coverage. His arguments on appeal now seek to limit that admission, but raise no genuine issues of material fact. As such, the District Court's ruling in this regard is upheld.
