The Supreme Court probably won’t answer the Ninth Circuit question it agreed in April to answer in Pitt v. Metropolitan Tower Life Insurance Company.
The federal appeals court today entered this order: “Because the parties have settled, their joint stipulated motion for dismissal with prejudice . . . and their joint motion to withdraw the certified question . . . are GRANTED.” The parties last month filed in the Supreme Court a “Joint Stipulated Request for Dismissal with Prejudice.”
The issue before the Supreme Court concerns the interpretation of California Insurance Code statutes concerning lapse and termination of life insurance policies “issued or delivered in this state.”
