Continental Casualty Company v. William S. Burton, Audrey H. Buckner, Mary R. Thweatt

BUTZNER, Senior Circuit Judge:

Continental Casualty Company appeals an order of the district court that denied its application for a declaratory judgment. Continental sought to be absolved from liability to Mrs. Audrey Buckner and Mrs. Mary Thweatt under a legal professional’s liability policy issued to William Burton, a lawyer. The district court held that Burton’s conduct was covered by the policy, that Continental failed to prove facts establishing an exclusion from coverage, and that the defense of breach of the insured’s duty to cooperate was not available to Continental. We affirm.
