* NO. 2007-CA-0645 * COURT OF APPEAL * GLENDALE SWAINGAN DEAN FOURTH CIRCUIT * STATE OF LOUISIANA VERSUS STATE FARM MUTUAL AUTOMOBILE INSURANCE COMPANY * * ******* MCKAY, J., CONCURS Although I find the misrepresentations and false statements made by the plaintiff and her daughter to be reprehensible, I must concur with the majority that these statements ultimately were not “material” to the theft and therefore should not void coverage for the alleged loss. I also concur with the majority that there was nothing arbitrary or capricious concerning State Farm’s handling of this claim.
