Heading: Mutual Marine's Pleading of a Claim Based on UFI's Rights

Text: General Star also appears to argue that Mutual Marine failed adequately to plead a cross-claim based on rights of UFI that it had obtained by subrogation or assignment. But as discussed above, Mutual Marine's motion papers before the district court made explicit that it was asserting UFI's rights in this lawsuit. In any event, Mutual Marine sought leave to re-plead its cross-claims, see Mem. of Law in Opp'n to Summ. J. at 21, Nat'l Union Fire Ins. Co. of La. v. UFI Fabricators, Inc., No. 05 Civ. 3418(SAS) (S.D.N.Y. Aug. 29, 2007) (Doc. No. 61), a request the district court did not reach because it granted summary judgment in favor of Mutual Marine. On remand, the district court may consider that request in the first instance if the court deems it necessary or advisable to do so.
