Granite State Insurance v. American Building Materials, Inc.

PRYOR, Circuit Judge:

In this appeal based on diversity jurisdiction, we are asked to interpret six insurance policies issued by Granite State Insurance Company and New Hampshire Insurance Company to American Building Materials, KB Home, Inc., and KB Home Tampa, LLC, to determine whether the pollution exclusions in those policies exclude coverage for damages associated with the supply and installation of defective Chinese drywall. Because we conclude that the damages fall within the scope of the pollution exclusions, we affirm the grant of summary judgment for the insurers.
