Willard v. Allstate Ins. Co.No. 20110314

Per Curiam.

[¶1] Kenneth C. Willard, as heir at law of Barbara Willard, appealed from a district court order granting Allstate Insurance Company's motion for summary judgment and the court's judgment dismissing his wrongful death action. On appeal, Willard argues Allstate is liable for the claimed damages under state law and the terms of the homeowner's insurance policy and the court erred in granting summary judgment. We summarily affirm the district court's order and judgment under N.D.R.App.P. 35.1(a)(6).
