MEMORANDUM OPINION

Petition for review allowed. Reversed and remanded to Court of Appeals with instructions.

MEMORANDUM OPINION

Defendant's petition for review is allowed. The decision of the Court of Appeals, insofar as that decision is based upon Mountain Fir Lbr Co. v. EBI Co., 64 Or. App. 312, 667 P.2d 567 (1983), is reversed. See Mountain Fir Lbr Co. v. EBI Co., 296 Or. 639, 679 P.2d 296 (1984).

Plaintiff, respondent on review in this court, contends that the Court of Appeals did not address plaintiff's argument in that court "that Federal Indian law principles preclude the application of the State Insurance Code statute which provides the basis for the illegality claim." Defendant replies that that contention was either not properly before the Court of Appeals or that that court has already summarily disposed of it against the plaintiff. On the record before us, we cannot resolve that controversy.

This case is remanded to the Court of Appeals for its consideration of that issue.
