Abstract
Plaintiff-appellant M.H. Lipiner & Son, Inc. ("Lipiner") appeals from a summary judgment entered in the United States District Court for the Southern District of New York (Conboy, J.) in favor of defendant-appellee The Hanover Insurance Company ("Hanover"). The action was brought to gain a declaratory judgment imposing responsibility upon Hanover to defend and indemnify Lipiner under the terms of a jewelers' block insurance policy issued to Lipiner by Hanover. Lipiner's pursuit of the declaration of responsibility was occasioned by a lawsuit commenced to recover the value of precious stones it allegedly misdelivered. The district court held that Hanover, in disclaiming any obligation to defend or indemnify, properly relied on a specific exclusion clause in the insurance policy. Because we agree that the insurance policy in question does not provide the insurance coverage claimed by Lipiner, we affirm the summary judgment entered in favor of Hanover.
