Text: In the order granting Gulf South's motions for summary judgment, the trial judge also granted the City's motions for summary judgment on the cross-claim of Gulf South and on Magnolia's claim. The record reflects that all witnesses deposed testified that the City had not been negligent in any way to either party concerning the pipe being laid off-grade. The express terms of the City's contract with each party imposed a duty on each to deliver a completed project which was eligible for EPA funding. Gulf South is also contractually obligated to indemnify the City against any claims brought against it by Magnolia. There are no genuine issues of material fact as to the City's involvement with Magnolia's negligence claim against Gulf South. The trial court correctly granted the City's motions for summary judgment.
