Court of Appeals for the Ninth Circuit December 14, 1981, 79-4008 (Barbara Allen as of the Estate of Gregg Geddes Allen, Deceased v. Allstate Insurance Company)

JOHN W. PECK, Circuit Judge.

The issue on appeal is whether the trial court correctly ruled that no reasonable settlement offer had been made to appellee Allstate. Having so ruled, the trial judge entered a judgment notwithstanding a jury verdict finding Allstate pable for bad faith in refusing to settle a claim against one of Allstate’s insureds. Barbara Allen appeals from this JNOV.
