                          for the Southern District of Florida
                            _________________________
                                    (July 20, 2009)

Before EDMONDSON, BLACK and SILER,* Circuit Judges.

PER CURIAM:

       We affirm the judgment of the district court. Briefly stated, General Asphalt

was not covered as an additional insured under the policies issued to Bob’s by

National or Lexington because the underlying injuries for which General Asphalt

was potentially liable did not arise out of Bob’s work. Therefore, Great American

Insurance Company was not due reimbursement from National.1

       AFFIRMED.

       *
        Honorable Eugene E. Siler, Jr., United States Circuit Judge for the Sixth Circuit, sitting
by designation.
       1
          Moreover, Defendant Lexington did not have a duty to defend General Asphalt because
the complaint did not allege injuries that would bring it into coverage under Lexington’s policy.
In addition, because we affirm the district court’s grant of summary judgment, we need not
address Defendant National’s cross-appeal.
