1Opinion of the Court

BYE, Circuit Judge.

This is a declaratory judgment action brought to determine the priority of coverage between certain insurance policies covering a leased vehicle. Clarendon National Insurance Company (Clarendon) insured the owner of the vehicle, while United Fire & Casualty Company (United Fire) insured the lessee. The district court 1 determined United Fire’s policy provided primary coverage. The district court further determined the umbrella policy United Fire issued to the lessee would also be considered primary to the policy Clarendon issued to the vehicle’s owner. We affirm.
