Heading: Settlements with Third-Party Defendants

Text: 29 MGM also challenges Duk's settlement with third-party defendants AMR, Metro, and CCDC. Because a determination that the settlement was made in good faith releases the settling parties from further contribution to the non-settling party under Nevada law, Nev.Rev.Stat. § 17.245(1)(b), the approving court must use its discretion to consider the fairness and overall appropriateness of the proposed settlement. See Velsicol Chem. Corp. v. Davidson, 107 Nev. 356, 811 P.2d 561, 563 (Nev.1991) (per curiam). We find no abuse of discretion with respect to the district court's good faith determination.
