United States First Circuit

Defendant insurance company denied plaintiff's flood loss claim following a flood that damaged the lower level of his home and numerous belongings. Summary judgment in favor of defendant is affirmed, where the district court did not err in holding that the lower level of plaintiff's home qualified as a "basement" under the Standard Flood Insurance Policy issued by defendant and authorized by the Federal Emergency Management Agency as part of the National Flood Insurance Program.
