## How later opinions describe it (automated extraction)

- rejecting the Upland "minority view” and observing that “this view has typically appeared in situations where the defendant evidently lacked any other insurance.”
- applying Maryland law, court held that exclusion covers negligent entrustment of a vehicle
- declining to certify questions of law where “the posture of the ease mandates prompt resolution of [the] issue”

## Opinion text

HARRY T. EDWARDS, Circuit Judge,
concurring:
I concur only in the judgment in this case. In particular, because I find no significant issue on “case or controversy” or “ripeness,” see, e.g., ACandS, Inc. v. Aetna Cas. & Sur. Co., 666 F.2d 819 , 822-23 *678 (3d Cir.1981), I do not subscribe to any of the discussion or opinions expressed in Part II of Judge Williams’ opinion.
