CASE SUMMARY:  
In this unanimous per curiam Opinion, the Court of Appeals upheld the validity of a "non-owned vehicle exclusion." In this case a family member from a home with insured automobiles was operating an uninsured motor vehicle which had been furnished for his regular and frequent use. Under the family auto policies this vehicle would not considered to be a "non-owned vehicle" and thus there was no duty to afford liability coverage under these other policies in the household. The Supreme Court's opinion in State Farm v Ruuska (item number 487) was distinguished.
