DECISION
BUSTAMANTE, Judge.
This is the companion case to Nellis v. Farmers Insurance Company of Arizona, COA No. 29,295 decided today. The factual background here is identical to that in Farmers. Perhaps because this case was decided below by a different trial judge, the procedural posture is slightly different. However, we have determined that the differences do not materially affect the legal analysis in any way that would prevent our Opinion in Farmers from controlling the outcome here.
Therefore, relying on Farmers, we reverse and remand for dismissal.
IT IS SO ORDERED.
MICHAEL D. BUSTAMANTE, Judge
