MEMORANDUM **

Appellant Crisp Enterprises (“C2”) appeals the district court’s denial of its motion for partial summary judgment and sua sponte grant of summary judgment to Appellee Golden Eagle Insurance Company (“Golden Eagle”). We have jurisdiction pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 1291 and review the district court’s summary judgment ruling de novo. Microtec Research, Inc. v. Nationwide Mut. Ins. Co., 40 F.3d 968, 970 (9th Cir. 1994). We affirm.

1. In Hartford Casualty Insurance Co. v. Swift Distribution, Inc., the California Supreme Court held that to trigger the duty to defend for disparagement, a declaratory plaintiff must be able to point to “a false or misleading statement that (1) specifically refers to the [underlying] plaintiffs product or business and (2) clearly derogates that product or business,” and that “[e]ach requirement must be satisfied by express mention or by clear implication.” 59 Cal.4th 277, 172 Cal. Rptr.3d 653, 326 P.3d 253, 256 (2014).

We find no facts in the materials C2 provided to Golden Eagle—including the underlying complaint, excerpts of deposition testimony, and client letter—that could meet Swift’s specificity requirements. Therefore, the district court correctly found that there was no “potential for coverage” that could trigger Golden Eagle’s duty to defend C2 in the underlying suit. See Swift, 172 Cal.Rptr.3d 653, 326 P.3d at 258 (quoting Montrose Chem. Corp. v. Superior Court, 6 Cal.4th 287, 24 Cal.Rptr.2d 467, 861 P.2d 1153, 1161 (1993)) (emphasis omitted); id., 172 Cal. Rptr.3d 653, 326 P.3d at 264, 266 (holding allegations in underlying suit that insured’s product name created customer confusion with the underlying plaintiffs product and that insured’s advertisements implied the inferiority of the underlying plaintiff “[insufficient to support a possible claim of disparagement”).

2. C2’s contention that Golden Eagle’s duty to defend was triggered by a potential claim for defamation fails for the same reason as its disparagement claim: there are no facts in the materials C2 provided to Golden Eagle alleging that C2 made a false or injurious statement. See Microtec, 40 F.3d at 972; cf. Barnett v. Fireman’s Fund Ins. Co., 90 Cal.App.4th 500, 108 Cal.Rptr.2d 657, 663 (2001) (defamation coverage where “[t]he complaints in the underlying action alleged appellants told third persons that [plaintiffs] methods of doing business were flawed and would result in its failure and made other representations that disparaged and damaged [plaintiffs]”).

3. The sua sponte grant of summary judgment was proper. C2 “had a ‘full and fair opportunity to ventilate the issues involved in th[is] matter,’ ” Gospel Missions of Am. v. City of Los Angeles, 328 F.3d 548, 553 (9th Cir. 2003) (quoting Cool Fuel, Inc. v. Connett, 685 F.2d 309, 312 (9th Cir. 1982)), and was “given reasonable notice that the sufficiency of [its] claim [would] be in issue,” Nozzi v. Hous. Auth. of Los Angeles, 806 F.3d 1178, 1199 (9th Cir. 2015) (internal quotation marks omitted).

AFFIRMED.
