ORDER denying 28 Motion for Summary Judgment by Judge Christine M. Arguello on 11/24/14.(dkals, )

IN THE UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT
FOR THE DISTRICT OF COLORADO
Judge Christine M. Arguello
Civil Action No. 13-cv-02472-CMA-MJW
ERIN VOGEL,
Plaintiff,
v.
STANDARD INSURANCE COMPANY, an Oregon corporation,
Defendant.

ORDER DENYING DEFENDANT’S MOTION FOR SUMMARY JUDGMENT

This matter is before the Court on Standard Insurance Company’s Motion for
Summary Judgment (Doc. # 28.)
Upon review of the parties’ briefing and the evidence referenced therein, the
Court determines that genuine issues of material fact preclude the Court from granting
the summary judgment motion on each of Plaintiff’s claims. Specifically, the Court
concludes that the following are questions for the jury: (1) whether any alcohol
consumed by Todd Vogel “caused or contributed to” his accidental death, and
(2) whether the Defendant handled Vogel’s insurance claim unreasonably.
Accordingly the Court ORDERS that Defendant’s Motion for Summary Judgment
(Doc. # 28) is DENIED.
DATED: November 24, 2014
BY THE COURT:
