Roth v. Illinois Farmers Ins. Co.

Plaintiff, Brenda Roth, acting as the administrator of the estate of her daughter, Angela, brought a declaratory judgment action in the circuit court of St. Clair County against defendant, Illinois Farmers Insurance Company. The circuit court found in plaintiffs favor, and defendant appealed. The appebate court affirmed the circuit court’s judgment (324 Ill. App. 3d 293), and we subsequently allowed defendant’s petition for leave to appeal (177 Ill. 2d R. 315(a)). For the reasons that follow, we hold that leave to appeal in this matter was improvidently granted and dismiss the appeal.
