Opinion of the Court

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,1 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.
