First National Bank v. Union Insurance

The defendant, Union Insurance Company (Union), appeals a district court order holding Union liable on a statutorily required motor vehicle dealer’s bond which it had issued to Kizzier Chevrolet Company of Scottsbluff (Kizzier).

The Scotts Bluff County Court entered summary judgment in favor of the plaintiff, First National Bank in Morrill (FNB), and the district court affirmed.

Having found plain error, we reverse the judgment of the district court for Scotts Bluff County and remand the cause for further proceedings consistent with this opinion.
