Court of Appeals for the Second Circuit

1Opinion of the Court
BRIEANT, District Judge.
Plaintiff-Appellant (“Cousins”) seeks to review a grant of summary judgment in favor of Defendanb-Appellee (“Hartford”) in this action for a breach of contract to perform inspection services. New York law applies to this diversity suit. 1 While we do not agree with the district court that the issue may be resolved by finding that the inspector acted in subjective good faith, we conclude that on the totality of the facts presented in this comprehensive record, the conduct of the inspector was objectively reasonable and therefore affirm.
