INDEMNITY [NO. 218]

Defendant The Boeing Company (“Boeing”) filed a Motion for Judgment on the 

Pleadings Re Equitable Indemnity on April 19, 2010 [Doc. 218], which sought summary 

judgment of the equitable indemnification claim asserted in the Second Amended Complaint of 

Plaintiff the City of Fresno (“the City”). Boeing argued that the City’s equitable indemnification 

claim was duplicative of its other causes of action. This Motion was heard by the Court on June 

14, 2010, in the presence of all parties.
