1Opinion of the Court
EMILIO M. GARZA, Circuit Judge:
This appeal stems from Allstate Insurance Company’s (“Allstate”) denial of Dr. Thomas Wright’s claim against his flood insurance policy, issued under the auspices, of the National Flood Insurance Act, 42 U.S.C. §§ 4001-4129 (“NFIA”). Allstate' appeals the district court’s application of equitable estoppel.and award of costs and attorney’s fees. Wright cross-appeals the court’s dismissal of his state law claims against Allstate and an Allstate employee, Guy Chapman, as well as its denial of his motion to amend his complaint. Both parties appeal the damages award.
