Affirmed
Dist. Ct. did not err in finding that plaintiff-insurance company had no duty to indemnify or defend defendant-former State's Attorney pursuant to terms of four commercial general liability policies in underlying section 1983 lawsuit alleging that defendant framed and falsely prosecuted underlying plaintiff on murder charge. One policy provided insurance for county's Sheriff, and thus did not apply to acts of county's State's Attorney. Other three policies, which provided only occurrence coverage, were not in force at time of defendant's alleged acts.
