|||||
Overview: Insurer properly relied on a clearly-worded drunk driving exclusion to deny coverage to an insured with respect to claims filed against him by victims of a car accident he caused while driving drunk. In light of the clear exclusion, it was patently implausible that the insured expected coverage for an accident caused while he was driving drunk.

View this case - free |
|||||
Overview: District court erroneously admitted into evidence statements by defendant's former attorney as party admissions under Fed. R. Evid. 801(d)(2)(D) because it failed to apply more exacting standard for their admission, but error was harmless under Fed. R. Crim. P. 52(a) because of defendant's admissions and government's overwhelming evidence of guilt.

|||||
Overview: Pursuant to U.S. Sentencing Guidelines Manual § 1B1.3(a)(2), in sentencing a defendant convicted of fraudulently obtaining a loan, the district court did not err by counting as relevant conduct certain other transactions because defendant used the same phony social security number and birth date that he did for the offense of conviction.
