ORDER AND JUDGMENT* 

Before MOORE, ANDERSON, and BRORBY, Circuit Judges. 

This case arises upon the motion of Continental Casualty 

Company for sununary reversal and the response filed thereto. 

Concluding plaintiffs-appellees' rights to recover against the 

garnishee in these cases has been effectively set aside by our 

decision in Anixter v. Home-Stake Prod. Co., 939 F.2d 1420 (10th 

Cir. 1991), we grant the motion. The judgments are reversed, and 

upon the concession of the garnishee, the reversal is without 

prejudice to reinstatement of the judgments should the holding in 

Anixter be reversed by the Supreme Court. 

Entered for the Court 

John P. Moore 

Circuit Judge 

*This order and judgment has no precedential value and shall not 

be cited, or used by any court within the Tenth Circuit, except 

for purposes of establishing the doctrines of the law of the case, 

res judicata, or collateral estoppel. 10th Cir. R. 36.3.
