Summary
Appeal from the Iowa District Court for Hardin County, The Honorable Christopher C. Polking, Judge. AFFIRMED. Considered without oral argument by Chicchelly, P.J., and Buller and Langholz, JJ. Opinion by Chicchelly, P.J. (6 pages)
Harold and Jody Johnson (the Johnsons) appeal the district court’s ruling granting summary judgement for Farmers Mutual Hail Insurance Company of Iowa (Farmers). The Johnsons allege Farmers should be equitably estopped from claiming the contractual limitations period had expired. OPINION HOLDS: Because the two-year contractual limitations period had run and the Johnsons have not shown that they requested their insurance policy from Farmers who refused to provide it, we affirm the district court’s grant of summary judgment.
