Description
Appellant, Don Reser, was sued on numerous grounds by a former business client, Central Park Mall Joint Venture [CPMJV]. The suit initially included defamation allegations, which were potentially within the coverage of Resers insurance policy with State Farm, as well as numerous other claims not within the coverage of Resers policy. CMPJV subsequently amended its claim and eliminated the defamation allegations. State Farm withdrew its defense of Reser and refused to indemnify him once he settled with CPMJV. In this appeal we must decide whether an insurers duty to indemnify its insured can exist, even if there is no corresponding duty to defend the insured. Under the facts of this case, we hold that the duty to indemnify does not exist in the absence of a duty to defend. Accordingly, we affirm the summary judgment granted in favor of State Farm.
