Insurance — life insurance — breach of contract

Bruce Larson, pro se, appeals a small claims judgment dismissing his breach of contract claims for failure to state a claim upon which relief can be granted. Larson argues that he was denied due process and that his case was improperly dismissed because the circuit court: (1) was impatient and prejudiced; (2) dismissed his case without intervention and without allowing him the opportunity to present evidence or argue relevant law; and (3) declined his plea for court intervention regarding Northwestern Mutual Life Insurance Company’s (Northwestern Mutual) exclusive use of the U.S. Postal Service to send loan checks. Because Larson conceded that Northwestern Mutual did not breach its contract, and because the record does not indicate that Larson’s due process rights were violated, we affirm the circuit court. This opinion will not be published.
