Summary

            Appeal from the Iowa District Court for Poweshiek County, Joel D. Yates, Judge.  AFFIRMED.  Considered without oral argument by Ahlers, P.J., and Badding and Langholz, JJ.  Opinion by Badding, J.  (11 pages)

            A landscaping company appeals from a declaratory judgment finding its insurance coverage for property damage and lost business income was voided by material misrepresentations.  OPINION HOLDS: Upon our de novo review, we agree with the district court that the insured made a material misrepresentation about at least one claimed loss.  We therefore affirm the court’s ruling declaring the policy void.
