Question Presented (from Petition)

Did the Louisiana district court violate the Supremacy Clause of the United States Constitution by giving higher deference to the Louisiana Insurance Code over Group Life & Health v. Royal Drug Company, 440 U.S. 205 (1979), declaring that title insurance policies were protected by Louisiana law despite the lack of spreading risk as an indispensable characteristic of insurance, and other uncontested flaws?
