Middle District Judge Mariani adopted and supplemented Magistrate Judge Carlson’s Report and Recommendation in this Covid-19 business interruption loss matter. The R&R concluded that no coverage was due on the Covid-19 loss claims. After citing some additional authority on why no coverage was due, Judge Mariani agreed the bad faith claim likewise could not stand:
“With the foregoing determinations, Plaintiffs third objection regarding error in Magistrate Judge Carlson’s finding that Plaintiff did not present evidence of bad faith … is OVERRULED.”
