Heading: Plaintiffs' Lawsuit and the Initial Award of Summary Judgment

Text: On June 22, 2001, plaintiffs commenced this action against the Fire Company and the Town of Babylon, [1] seeking compensation under federal and state law for costs incurred in dealing with the released hazardous substances. On December 20, 2004, the district court granted summary judgment in favor of defendants on all claims. On appeal, a panel of this court summarily affirmed the award on plaintiffs' CERCLA contribution claims, see 42 U.S.C. § 9613, but reversed it on the CERCLA restitution claims, see id. § 9607(a), as well as the state negligence and Navigation Law claims, see N.Y. Nav. Law § 181(1). See AMW Materials Testing, Inc. v. Town of Babylon, 187 Fed. Appx. 24 (2d Cir.2006).
