Washington, D.C.--The U.S. Supreme Court has denied Allstate Insurance Company's petition for writ of certiorari. Most recently, Allstate Insurance Co. filed a reply brief to the U.S. Supreme Court regarding the Texas statute prohibiting insurance companies from owning collision repair shops. This reply brief followed the Automotive Service Association's (ASA's) response and Allstate's appeal after the U.S. Court of Appeals, 5th Circuit, New Orleans, affirmed the District Court ruling in the case of Allstate Insurance Co., et al., Appellants-Appellees v. Greg Abbott, Etc., et al., v. Automotive Service Association, et al. Aug. 1, 2007.
