JUSTICE McLAREN delivered the opinion of the court:
Defendant, Stonecrafters, Inc. (Stonecrafters), appeals from an order of the circuit court of
McHenry County entering summary judgment for plaintiff, Westport Insurance Corporation
(Westport), in an action for a declaratory judgment. Stonecrafters sought a declaration that coverage
under an insurance policy issued to Jackson National Life Insurance Company (Jackson) did not
extend to the liability of the Handleman Insurance Agency, Inc. (Handleman), arising from the
transmission of unsolicited faxes advertising group health insurance. We affirm.
