Date Filed Document Text
October 16, 2012 Opinion or Order Filing 32 MEMORANDUM AND ORDER granting 15 Motion for Summary Judgment. It is undoubtedly true that under New York law the insurer bears the burden of establishing that an exclusionary clause applies. Shelby, 2007 WL 1180651, No. 06-Civ-3260, at *3. However , where the insurer meets its burden, and where the terms of a policy are unambiguous, summary judgment is appropriate. Here, Nautilus has met its burden. Accordingly, Plaintiffs motion for summary judgment on its claims and Defendant Barfields count erclaims is GRANTED. This Court declares that the plain language of the Policy relieves Nautilus of any duty to indemnify or defend Defendants Barfield and Cedar Ave with respect to Castellis claims in the underlying state court action. Furthermore, this Court declares that Nautilus owes no duty to pay for Castellis medical expenses associated with the underlying action. The Clerk of Court is directed to terminate the motion at Docket No. 15 and to close this case. (Signed by Judge J. Paul Oetken on 10/16/2012) (ft)
