San Gabriel Basin Water Quality Authority v. Aerojet General Corp.

U.S. Court of Appeals for the Ninth Circuit
San Gabriel Basin Water Quality Authority v. Aerojet General Corp., 381 F. App'x 678 (9th Cir. 2010)

San Gabriel Basin Water Quality Authority v. Aerojet General Corp.

Opinion

MEMORANDUM *

The district court entered judgment on August 20, 2008, approving the settlement between the Water Entities and the G10 Third-Parly Defendants (appellees); dismissing all claims against the G10; and barring any claims for contribution, cost recovery, or indemnity against the G10 Third-Party Defendants. Appellants are a group of non-settling defendants who objected to the settlement, dismissal, and bar order.

In a separate published disposition filed today, USA v. Aerojet-General Corp., No. 08-55996, we reverse and remand the district court’s denial of the nonsettling defendants’ motion to intervene in that case. In light of our opinion in that case, we *679 vacate and remand the district court’s decision in this case for further proceedings consistent with that decision.

VACATED AND REMANDED.
