CHAD A. READLER, Circuit Judge. Following an accident, Jeremy Marchek sued his auto insurer, United Services Automobile Association, claiming that the company breached the terms of the policy it issued to Marchek. According to Marchek, USAA wrongfully failed to compensate him for sales taxes and mandatory fees necessary to purchase a replacement vehicle after USAA declared his vehicle to be beyond repair. The district court dismissed the complaint on the basis that USAA was not contractually obligated to compensate Marchek for taxes and fees. Because the plain language of the contract plausibly requires USAA to compensate Marchek for those costs, we reverse and remand for further proceedings.

JANE B. STRANCH, Circuit Judge. Laurie DeVore retired from her post at the University of Kentucky rather than comply with its COVID-19 test-or-vaccinate policy. She then filed this lawsuit, alleging that the Policy conflicted with her sincerely held religious beliefs and that the University’s failure to accommodate those beliefs violated Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964. The district court granted summary judgment for the University. We AFFIRM.
