FARMERS AND MERCHANTS BANK OF HUNTSVILLE, MISSOURI, A MISSOURI BANKING CORPORATION, APPELLANT,
v.
ST. PAUL SURPLUS LINES INSURANCE COMPANY, A DELAWARE CORPORATION, APPELLEE

8th Cir. | 1984-06-29
No. 83-2245
Before ROSS, McMILLIAN, and ARNOLD, Circuit Judges.
738 F.2d 269 United States Court of Appeals for the Eighth Circuit (1984) Positive Treatment
Cited by 6 cases


Opinion of the Court
PER CURIAM.

PER CURIAM.

Farmers and Merchants Bank appeals from the trial court’s judgment that the bank was not entitled to recover under an insurance policy issued by St. Paul Surplus Lines. Farmers and Merchants Bank held a mortgage on certain real property and improvements owned by LeRoy, Jane and John Gillan. On March 3,1981, John Gillan intentionally started a fire which completely destroyed the building mortgaged to Farmers and Merchants Bank.

The premises were insured by St. Paul Surplus Lines, but Farmers and Merchants Bank was not named in the policy at the time of the loss. St. Paul Surplus Lines refused to cover the loss and Farmers and Merchants Bank sued, presenting several theories of recovery to the court.

We have carefully studied the record, including the magistrate’s opinion and the briefs of the parties to this appeal. We find no merit in the appellant’s arguments and accordingly affirm pursuant to Rule 14 of the Rules of this court.
