ARNOLD, Circuit Judge.
This diversity case involves professional-liability insurance policies purchased from separate carriers by a law firm that was sued for malpractice by appellants Karim and Ruthann Esmailzadeh. The policies each covered malpractice “claims first made and reported” during a certain period. The District Court1 held that the Es-mailzadehs could not recover in a garnishment action against the insurers, because their malpractice claim was made, but not reported, during one policy period and reported, but not made, during another. We affirm.
