TOM SCHANZLE-HASKINS, Magistrate Judge.
This matter comes before the Court on Defendant Foremost Insurance Company Grand Rapids, Michigan's (Foremost) Motion for Partial Summary Judgment on Damages (d/e 30) (Foremost Motion), and Plaintiffs Judy Reimer and Dennis Reimer's (collectively the Reimers) Motion for Partial Summary Judgment on Liability (d/e 31) (Reimer Motion) (collectively Motions). The parties consented to proceed before this Court.
At summary judgment, the moving party must present evidence that demonstrates the absence of a genuine issue of material fact.
Consistent with these principles, the Local Rules of this Court require a moving party to set forth in its motion a numbered list of each undisputed fact, to attach relevant documentary evidence to support each undisputed fact, and to provide citations to the exhibit and page number of each piece of documentary evidence that supports each fact. Local Rule 7.1(D)(1)(b). The Local Rules further require the moving party to include a legal argument in a motion for summary judgment with citation to appropriate authority. Local Rule 7.1(D)(1)(c).
The Reimers alleged in their Complaint that Foremost issued to them Insurance Policy 444-0019060470 (Policy) to cover losses from property damage to certain mobile homes (Mobile Homes) owned by the Reimers. The Reimers further alleged that they filed claims with Foremost for losses covered by the Policy.
The Reimer Motion asks for partial summary judgment that they filed valid claims under the Policy and Foremost is liable to pay the Reimers' valid claims. Foremost does not dispute that the Reimers filed valid claims. The Reimers are entitled to summary judgment on this aspect of the Reimer Motion.
The Reimer Motion also asserts that issues of fact exist regarding the amount Foremost owes the Reimers to pay the claims. To the extent that the Reimers ask the Court to make this finding, the Reimer Motion is denied. The Reimer Motion states one sentence regarding the disputed amount of the loss, "That the issue of the amount of damages remains unresolved,"
The Reimers did not respond to the Foremost Motion as required by Local Rule 7.1(D)(2). The Reimers, therefore, are deemed to have admitted the undisputed facts stated in the Foremost Motion. Local Rule 7.1(D)(2). In that light the Reimers' admission, Foremost's Statement of Undisputed Facts and supporting evidence shows the following.
Foremost issued the Policy to the Reimers to provide insurance to cover losses from property damage to the Mobile Homes owned by the Reimers. The Mobile Homes were situated in the Lake Shelbyville Mobile Park in Shelbyville, Illinois (Park).
Foremost's expert witness, Special Field Claims Representative Thomas DeHahn opined of the amounts of the covered losses under the Claims. Foremost's Claims Representatives Michael Erwin and Deborah Sulcer inspected the Mobile Homes to adjust the Claims. DeHahn reviewed Foremost's files on the Claims including the information secured by Erwin and Sulcer in their inspections of the Mobile Homes. DeHahn determined that the Actual Cash Value of the total covered loss set forth in the Claims was $22,589.86. The Actual Cash Value is the recoverable amount under the Policy. The Actual Cash Value is equivalent to the replacement cost of the damaged portions of each Mobile Home, less depreciation, and less any applicable deductibles. DeHahn Affidavit, ¶ ¶ 5-6; Motion, Exhibit C, Defendant's Rule 26(a)(2) Expert Disclosures, at 4-5.
The Reimers submitted no evidence to contradict DeHahn's assessment of the Actual Cash Value of the covered losses. The Reimers furthermore did not respond to the Foremost Motion, and so, admitted Foremost's Statements of Undisputed Facts that the Actual Cash Value of $22,589.86 is the amount of the covered loss. Local Rule 7.1(D)(2). Therefore, the sum of $22,589.86 is the undisputed value total covered loss set forth in the Claims and covered by the Policy. Foremost is entitled to partial summary judgment on the issue of damages. The sum due to Plaintiffs under the Policy is $22,589.86.
No matters remain at issue under the Plaintiffs' Second Amended Complaint. The partial allowance of the Reimer Motion establishes that they filed valid claims that Foremost must pay under the Policy. The allowance of the Foremost Motion established that Foremost owes the Reimers $22,589.86 on their valid claims under the Policy. The Court, therefore, enters final judgment in this case.
THEREFORE, IT IS ORDERED that Defendant Foremost Insurance Company Grand Rapids, Michigan's Motion for Partial Summary Judgment on Damages (d/e 30) is ALLOWED, and Plaintiffs Judy Reimer and Dennis Reimer's Motion for Partial Summary Judgment on Liability (d/e 31) is ALLOWED in part and DENIED in part. The Court hereby declares that insurance coverage existed on Plaintiffs Judy Reimer and Dennis Reimer's claims against Defendant Foremost Insurance Company Grand Rapids, Michigan. The Court declares that Defendant Foremost Insurance Company Grand Rapids, Michigan has a duty to pay Plaintiffs Judy Reimer and Dennis Reimer the sum of $22,589.86 to satisfy in full all claims brought by the Plaintiff Judy Reimer and Dennis Reimer under the Policy, which encompasses those alleged in the Second Amended Complaint. All pending motions are denied as moot. THIS CASE IS CLOSED.
