Description
On September 27, 2002, Geraldine Tropp, administrator of her mothers estate, filed a classaction complaint against Western-Southern Life Insurance Co. in the Circuit Court of Cook County, Illinois. After Western-Southern removed the case to federal court, Tropp filed an amended class-action complaint. The amended complaint included her original claim that Western-Southern violated the Illinois Consumer Fraud and Deceptive Business Practices Act, 815 Ill. Comp. Stat. 505/1, et seq. The district court, finding that the interests of the estate were governed by a prior class-action settlement approved by an Ohio state court, granted summary judgment to Western-Southern on that count. Tropp also alleged (as claims in the alternative) that Western-Southern improperly administered the class-action settlement. The district court, after ensuring that the estate was paid an undisputed amount under the settlement, dismissed the remaining counts. We affirm in all respects.
