Adam v. Stonebridge Life Insurance

SMITH, Circuit Judge.

Michael Adam, administrator of the deceased Richard Kessel’s estate, brought suit against Stonebridge Life Insurance Company (“Stonebridge”) alleging breach of contract and bad faith after Stonebridge rescinded an insurance policy and denied Adam’s claim for benefits. Stonebridge answered, asserting the affirmative defenses of equitable estoppel, lack of standing, waiver, and equitable rescission. The district court 2 granted Stonebridge’s motion for summary judgment. On appeal, Adam argues that the district court erred in dismissing his claims. We affirm.
