Opinion by
Judge GABRIEL.
Plaintiff, Leonard Sanderson, appeals the district court's grant of summary judgment in favor of defendant, American Family Mutual Insurance Company (AFT), on his claim for bad faith breach of an underinsured motorist (UIM) policy. He also appeals the denial of leave to amend his complaint to assert a claim for exemplary damages based on the purported breach. Because we conclude that (1) Sanderson has failed to show a genuine issue of material fact and (2) on the facts presented here, AFI was entitled to judgment as a matter of law, we affirm.
