Heading: Dismissal of Truck-A-Way's Cross-Claim

Text: 30 We review de novo the district court's dismissal of the claim. Sepulveda v. Pacific Maritime Ass'n, 878 F.2d 1137, 1139 (9th Cir.), cert. denied, 493 U.S. 1002 (1989). We will only reverse the court's factual findings if they are clearly erroneous. Id. The district court may involuntarily dismiss an action if, after considering the evidence, the plaintiff has not established a prima facie case. Id. 31 Truck-A-Way asserts that the district court erred in dismissing its cross-claim for overpayment of pension contributions. Consequently, Truck-A-Way requests we remand the matter so that the district court may resolve the remaining issues addressed in the cross-claim. In its cross-claim, Truck-A-Way alleges that it overpaid pension contributions to Northwest. Truck-A-Way, however, has not presented any evidence to support its contention. In addition, Truck-A-Way failed to address this allegation in either its motion for summary judgment or its opposition to Northwest's motion for summary judgment. Hence, Truck-A-Way failed to establish a prima facie case on its claim that it overpaid pension contributions to Northwest. Consequently, the district court did not err when it dismissed Truck-A-Way's cross-claim with prejudice. 32 Accordingly, WE AFFIRM.
