The first, second, third, and fifth are asserted on behalf of the corporation alone. Their complaint is framed in five causes of action. Plaintiffs and appellants in the case at bench are Truestone, Inc., a corporation, and Daniel and Johnnie Campbell, its sole stockholders.

Accordingly, we dismiss the premature appeals and reverse the judgment to the extent that it dismisses the fourth cause of action. As to the dismissal of a fourth cause of action, which is the only one asserted by the plaintiffs named in it, we conclude that the complaint states a cause of action for violation of an insurer's obligation to act in good faith with respect to the shareholders of a closely held corporation as well as to the corporation itself where the stockholders and the corporation are both named insureds in the policy. In this appeal from a judgment dismissing on demurrer some, but not all, of the causes of action asserted by multiple plaintiffs against multiple defendants, we conclude that the appeal is premature as to the dismissal of causes of action where the demurrer was overruled as to other causes involving the same plaintiffs and defendants. Shallcross for Defendants and Respondents. Garrett, Dunne, Shallcross & Kane and Russell E. Dohrman and Barrymore & Stevens for Plaintiffs and Appellants.
