Cases

In a UIM action for declaratory judgment, a district court of the Southern District of Texas granted an insurer’s motion to dismiss or alternatively, to sever and abate, dismissing with prejudice the insured’s breach of contract claim for lack of subject matter jurisdiction because the claim was unripe while the declaratory-judgment action remained unadjudicated and, in the discretion of the court, abating the insured’s extra-contractual claims.
