“The clear wording of the battery exclusion evidences an intent for the exclusion to apply to any claim arising out of an assault and/or battery. Thus, it is absolutely clear that any way Byrd may have worded her claim, it arose from a battery by Linton, who was criminally convicted of same. Due to the clear wording of the exclusion, such a claim is obviously excluded from coverage under either the CGL policy or the liquor liability endorsement. The. trial court correctly held that the occurrence which gave rise to the liability was the battery of Byrd by Linton regardless of how her cause of action is termed and, therefore, policy coverage was excluded.”
