Quilling v. Trade Ptnrs., Inc., No. 08-2328

In an appeal from an order distributing the proceeds of life insurance policies owned by a receivership estate on a pro rata basis, the order is affirmed where plaintiff's alleged diligence in securing a beneficial interest was not cause for him to take priority when the interest he actually acquired was no better than the interests acquired by supposedly less-diligent claimants.
