TALLAHASSEE, Fla. (Legal Newsline) -- The Florida Supreme Court has declined to review Allstate Insurance Co.'s appeal of a decision that suspended its license to write new policies in the state.

Allstate had appealed a ruling by the 1st District Court of Appeals that the Office of Insurance Regulation had acted properly in suspending Allstate's ability to write policies in Florida.

The company's suspension came after the insurance commissioner charged that Allstate had failed to supply all the documents the OIR had subpoenaed.

Initially, Allstate had provided only 36,000 pages of documents. Eventually, the company sent more than 825,000 pages to the agency.

Allstate's request to the Supreme Court was essentially moot. The insurance commission lifted the suspensions May 16.

Insurance Commissioner Kevin McCarty expressed satisfaction with the court's action.

"The Supreme Court's decision reassures Floridians that the Office has full access to insurers' books and records and upholds the Office's actions in its efforts to protect consumers," McCarty said.

Allstate has not yet indicated if it will take further legal action.

An administrative hearing Sept. 15 will decide if Allstate must still pay a fine or face a renewal of the suspension.
