PAUL KELLY, JR., Circuit Judge.
Plaintiffs-Appellants/Cross-Appellees Sloan (Debtor and Insured) and Moldo (Bankruptcy Trustee) appeal from the district court’s judgment awarding $560,000 in compensatory damages based upon breach of contract, bad faith failure to settle, and a violation of the New Mexico Insurance Practices Act. Defendant-Ap-pellee/Cross-Appellant State Farm (Insurer) also appeals contending that several trial errors occurred. We affirm the judgment on liability, reverse the judgment insofar as damages and remand for a new trial on compensatory and punitive damages.
