United States Sixth Circuit

Dismissal of a class action challenging an insurer's changes to an insurance policy after plaintiffs moved into a higher risk area, received a worse credit rating, and had a two week lapse in insurance coverage due to a temporary inability to pay premiums, is affirmed where neither of the Michigan statutes relied upon by plaintiffs provides for the private right of action asserted.
