S-20-0516 Hauptman O’Brien Wolf & Lathrop, P.C. (Appellee) v. Auto-Owners Insurance Company (Appellant)
Douglas County District Court, Hon. Peter C. Bataillon
Attorneys: Joshua J. Yambor (Hauptman, O’Brien, Wolf & Lathrop, P.C., for Appellee); Michael T. Gibbons & Raymond E. Walden (Woodke & Gibbons, P.C., L.L.O., for Appellant)
Civil: Common Fund Doctrine; § 44-3,128.01
Proceedings Below: The district court affirmed the county court’s order which granted summary judgment to Hauptman O’Brien Wolf & Lathrop, P.C. and denied summary judgment to Auto-Owners Insurance Company.
Issues on Appeal: The issue on appeal is whether Neb. Rev. Stat. § 44-3,128.01 renders the common fund doctrine inapplicable. The issue on cross-appeal is whether the district court abused its discretion in granting Auto-Owners Ins. Co., an extension to file its statement of errors.
