CROWN CORK SEAL COMPANY, v. CBS CORPORATION, (M.D.N.C. 2002)

WILLIAM OSTEEN, U.S. District Judge:

For the reasons set out in an Order filed contemporaneously with this Judgment,

IT IS ORDERED AND ADJUDGED that plaintiffs' motion to dismiss defendant Scovill Fasteners, Inc. as a defendant from this lawsuit with prejudice, and further, that all cross-claims arising out of plaintiffs' claims for recovery of their RI/FS costs, RD/RA costs, or any other response costs against Scovill Fasteners, Inc. be barred (docket no. 304), and as joined in by defendant Scovill Fasteners, Inc. (docket no. 318) are granted, and that the Court, in fact, dismisses the cross-claims of defendant American National Can Corporation against defendant Scovill Fasteners with prejudice as a result of its settlement of plaintiffs' claims, and further, the Court accepts the Uniform Comparative Fault Act proportionate share rule for this case, so that plaintiffs' contribution claims against the non-settling defendants will be reduced by the fair shares of Scovill.
