Opinion
FROEHLICH, J.
Fireman’s Fund Insurance Company (Fireman’s) appeals from an order dismissing its complaint after summary judgment was entered in favor of respondent Maryland Casualty Company (Maryland). Fireman’s suit against Maryland sought reimbursement for some or all of the funds Fireman’s had advanced to settle a lawsuit by a third party. Fireman’s contended Maryland improperly settled a construction defect case by misallocating its “primary” policy proceeds, and as a result Fireman’s was required to pay, under its “excess” policy, $2,453,000 to a third party.
