Douglas M. Mcintosh, Robert C. Weill, Mcintosh, Sawran, Peltz Cartaya, P.A., Ft Lauderdale, FL, for Plaintiff-Appellee-Cross-Appellant.

Appeals from the United States District Court for the Southern District of Florida. D.C. Docket No. 04-60619-CV-JIC.

Before BARKETT, MARCUS and FAY, Circuit Judges.


Mercedes Zota, Lighthouse Intracoastal, Inc., Jack Farji, and Broward Executive Builders, Inc. appeal from a Final Declaratory Judgment in favor of Essex Insurance Company concluding that there is no coverage for Zota's injury under the liability insurance policy issued by Essex to Light-house and therefore, Essex was not required to indemnify Lighthouse or defend it with regard to Zota's state court negligence action. Essex also cross-appeals several of the district court's rulings.

After having carefully considered all of the issues in this case, including Essex's cross-appeal, and based on the record and arguments of counsel, we find no reversible error.

AFFIRMED.
