PENN v. STATE FARM MUTUAL AUTOMOBILE INSURANCE COMPANY (2021)

United States Court of Appeals, Eighth Circuit.

Lucretia A. PENN Plaintiff - Appellant v. STATE FARM MUTUAL AUTOMOBILE INSURANCE COMPANY Defendant - Appellee

No. 20-1505

Decided: February 09, 2021

Before KELLY, MELLOY, and GRASZ, Circuit Judges.

George J. Miller, Sr., Miller & Salsbury, Eureka, MO, for Plaintiff - Appellant Daniel Wilke, James Albert Wilke, Wilke & Wilke, Saint Louis, MO, for Defendant - Appellee

[Unpublished]

In this diversity action, Lucretia Penn challenged the denial of coverage for insurance claims. She now appeals following the district court's ¹ adverse grant of summary judgment on her claims for breach of contract.

After careful review of the record and the parties’ arguments on appeal, we find no basis for reversal. See Smith v. Toyota Motor Corp., 964 F.3d 725, 728 (8th Cir. 2020) (de novo review of grant of summary judgment; this court applies state substantive law in diversity case). Accordingly, we affirm. See 8th Cir. R. 47B. We also deny Penn's pending motion to supplement her reply brief.
