OPINION

FILES, P.J.

In this action against a casualty insurance company for damages for its failure to settle a claim within the policy limits, the jury returned a verdict in favor of the defendant, and plaintiff has appealed from the judgment. A unique feature of the case is that the insured died in the accident from which the claim against her arose, and left no property. Upon the record made here we affirm the judgment.
