STARR INDEMNITY & LIABILITY Before: N. Randy Smith and Kenneth K. Lee, Circuit Judges, and Matthew F. Kennelly,* District Judge. Opinion by Judge Lee SUMMARY** California Insurance Law The panel affirmed the district court’s summary judgment in favor of Starr Indemnity and Liability Company in a diversity insurance-coverage action. California’s Attorney General sued Adir International, LLC for violating state consumer protection laws. After initially agreeing to provide coverage, Adir’s insurer, Starr Indemnity, said it would no longer pay for Adir’s defense pursuant to California Insurance Code § 533.5(b), which forbids insurer coverage in certain consumer protection cases brought by the state. The panel held Cal. Ins. Code § 533.5(b) did not facially violate the due process right of insurance holders to fund and retain the counsel of their choice in the civil context. The panel also rejected Adir’s statutory argument that section 533.5 applied to actions involving only monetary relief. The panel further held that under the plain text of the statute, it * The Honorable Matthew F.
