Heading: Claims Based on the Sallis Settlement.

Text: For some reason not articulated in its order, the district court also granted summary judgment in favor of both Smith and the State as to that portion of Allied's claim arising from its settlement of the Sallis claim. Sallis was a passenger in the Sailor-Speller truck and was not an employee of the State. While we believe our holding in Division III precludes any claim for indemnity as to the Sallis settlement, nothing in the summary judgment motion supported the dismissal of Allied's contribution claims against either Smith or the State based on sums paid to Sallis. This portion of the judgment must be reversed. We have considered all grounds argued and affirm the decision of the district court in all respects except its dismissal of Allied's contribution claim against Smith and the State based on the Sallis settlement. As to the latter claim, the judgment is reversed, and the case is remanded to the district court for further proceedings. AFFIRMED IN PART, REVERSED IN PART, AND REMANDED.
