Varlen Corporation v. Liberty Mutual Insurance Comp

Barrett, Circuit Judge.

Varlen Corporation owned and operated two industrial sites that were found to have significant amounts of groundwater contamination related to the sites' operations. When its insurer, Liberty Mutual Insurance Company, refused to indemnify it, Varlen sued.

We agree with the district court's exclusion and affirm its grant of summary judgment to Liberty Mutual.
