MultiRegion, United States of America
The following excerpt is from Reese v. Travelers Ins. Co., 129 F.3d 1056 (9th Cir. 1997):
Id. (quoting Montrose I, 24 Cal.Rptr.2d at 474, 861 P.2d at 1160). Where the policy provides no potential for coverage, the insurer is under no duty to defend in the underlying action. Waller v. Truck Ins. Exch., 11 Cal.4th 1, 44 Cal.Rptr.2d 370, 377-78, 900 P.2d 619, 627 (Cal.1995). Any doubt as to whether there is a duty to defend must be resolved in favor of the insured. Montrose I, 24 Cal.Rptr.2d at 474, 861 P.2d at 1160.
