Opinion

Rosito Asuncion, special administrator of the estate of Edilberto Asuncion, appeals the district court’s grant of summary judgment in favor of Allstate Insurance Company. We review de novo both a district court’s interpretation of state law and a grant of summary judgment. Nevada Power Co. v. Monsanto Co., 955 F.2d 1304 , 1306 (9th Cir.1992). For the reasons given by the district court, see Asuncion v. Allstate Ins. Co., 776 F.Supp. 1432 (D.Haw.1991), the judgment is

AFFIRMED.

. Although the district court cited Icban v. State Farm, MVI-89-61 (September 28, 1990), aff’d, Circuit Court CV No. 90-3400-10 (May 14, 1991), as awaiting decision by the Hawaii Supreme Court, we have determined that no appeal to the state supreme court was pursued in that case.
