The appellee's motion to dismiss the appeal has been granted due to the absence of a substantial federal question. The dismissal is supported by various precedential cases, including Parsons v. Federal Realty Corp., Mutual Life Ins. Co. v. Hilton-Green, American Fire Ins. Co. v. King Lumber Co., Orient Ins. Co. v. Daggs, National Ins. Co. v. Wanberg, Stipcich v. Insurance Co., Merchants Liability Co. v. Smart, Hancock Mutual Life Ins. Co. v. Warren, and O’Gorman. Young v. Hartford Ins. Co.
