Date Filed Document Text
September 13, 2013 Opinion or Order Filing 220 Decision and Order granting 89 Zurich and Starr's Motion for Partial Summary Judgment on Count II; denying 131 Guam Shipyard and Pothen's Motion for Summary Judgment on Count II; granting 169 Zurich's Motion for Partial Summary J udgment on Count I; denying 176 Guam Shipyard's Cross-Motion for Summary Judgment on Count I. This results in the dismissal, in entirety, of Guam Shipyard and Pothen's complaint. Zurich and Starr, however, have filed their own complaint for declaratory relief. That complaint's basic aim is a declaration that there is no insurance coverage here, which the court effectively provides in this decision. However, the Court notes that this complaint also seeks costs and other appropriate relief and that this decision does not rule on those claims. Signed by Chief Judge Frances M. Tydingco-Gatewood on 9/13/2013. (fad, )
August 26, 2013 Opinion or Order Filing 217 Order Re: Sanctions. The court finds: (1) Plaintiffs failed to comply with a court order which required the video taking of an inspection on board the dry dock Machinist on November 3, 2011. (2) Plaintiffs' belief that a camera pass issued by VC C was required prior to entry into the GISI facility was not substantially justified because their belief had no reasonable basis in law and fact. (3) There exists no other circumstances which would make an award of expenses unjust. (4) Defendants ar e entitled to receive from Plaintiffs the sum of $8,975.00 as their reasonable costs and attorneys' fees. Plaintiff shall make this payment within 30 days of this order. Signed by Magistrate Judge Joaquin V.E. Manibusan, Jr on 8/26/2013.
