Court properly granted insurer's motion to dismiss with prejudice. Targeted tender doctrine does not allow insurers to deselect themselves as targeted insurers after settlement of insured's underlying suit. Doctrine should be narrowly applied to types of factual situations for which it was originally intended. Point of targeted tender doctrine is to allow the insured to select which insurer it wants to target for defense of underlying suit. (CONNORS and DELORT, concurring.)
