COURT DENIES MOTION TO COMPEL PRODUCTION OF REINSURANCE INFORMATION
This case arises out of a state court lawsuit asserting claims from a motor vehicle accident, in which Bituminous Casualty sought a declaratory judgment that it did not owe its insured, the defendant in the state court action, a defense under its policy. The plaintiff in the state court action, which was not insured by Bituminous, sought the production of Bituminous’ reinsurance agreements and correspondence with its reinsurers. Although the court compelled the production of other documents, it denied the motion to compel to the extent that it sought information about Bituminous’ reserves, reinsurance agreements and other documents relating to reinsurance. Bituminous Cas. Corp. v. Smith Bros., Inc., Case No. 2:07-cv-354-KS-MTP (USDC S.D. Miss. Sept. 22, 2008).
