1Opinion of the Court
*634RIVES, Circuit Judge.
In this declaratory judgment action between two automobile liability insurers, the district court held that American Fidelity & Casualty Company (hereafter “A.F. & C.”) was the primary insurer, and that United States Fidelity & Guaranty Company (hereafter “U.S.F. & G.”) was only the excess insurer. Upon appeal, A.F. & C. presents a single contention to the effect that the driver of the motor vehicle at the time of the collision was not insured under its policy, and hence that it was no insurer whatsoever of liability for the resulting injuries.
