Opinion
WERDEGAR, J.
North Bay Schools Insurance Authority (North Bay) appeals from a judgment entered in favor of Industrial Indemnity Company and California Insurance Company (Insurers) following cross-motions for summary judgment. The question presented is whether acts of vandalism and arson committed by several people out of the public view may collectively be considered a “riot” for purposes of an insurance policy which employs, but does not define, that term. We conclude they may not; we therefore affirm the judgment.
