U.S. Court of Appeals for the Ninth Circuit
United States v. Stuyvesant Insurance, 453 F.2d 752 (9th Cir. 1972)

United States v. Stuyvesant Insurance

Opinion of the Court

PER CURIAM:

The judgment as to National Automobile and Casualty Company on a bail *753forfeiture is affirmed. T.he judgment against Stuyvesant Insurance Company is reversed. Judges Jertberg and Ely are of the view that in the circumstances of this case the bond of Stuyvesant was. exonerated with the posting of the National bond which was accepted and filed by the district court.

Judge Chambers is of the view that after the “substitution”, there appearing no written order of exoneration, Stuyvesant remained secondarily liable. He concedes that there is no suggestion that National is unable to satisfy the full judgment and therefore his point is theoretical.
