Indian Harbor, Lexington lose federal jurisdiction bid over contract allocation clause

Circuit Judge Stephen A. Higginson, writing for the panel, noted that a nearly identical case had just been decided. In Town of Vinton v. Indian Harbor Insurance Co., another town in Calcasieu Parish had the same policy language, the same hurricane damage, and faced the same litigation moves from insurers. The parties in the Police Jury case had even asked the court to wait for the Vinton decision before proceeding, knowing it would likely settle their dispute too.
