Heading: Pro Tanto without Contribution

Text: As in the first alternative, the nonsettling defendant receives a pro tanto credit, but in this case the nonsettling defendant is precluded from pursuing any claim for contribution against the settling defendant. This second alternative often incorporates an additional requirement: a showing that the settlement was made in good faith. See, e.g., Velsicol Chem. Corp. v. Davidson, 107 Nev. 356, 811 P.2d 561 (1991) (per curiam); Tech-Bilt, Inc. v. Woodward-Clyde & Assoc., 38 Cal.3d 488, 213 Cal.Rptr. 256, 698 P.2d 159 (1985).
