Appeal from the United States District Court for the Central District of California, CV 92-2818 WMB, CV 92-4772 WMB, CV 92-4794 WMB, CV 93-0810 WMB, CV 94-2861 WMB, CV 95-2050 WMB;  Wm. Matthew Byrne, Jr., District Judge, Presiding.

MEMORANDUM*
Plaintiffs' claims for joint and several liability for their entire response costs under CERCLA are governed by The Pinal Creek Group v. Newmont Mining Corp., No. 96-16334, slip op. 7699 (9th Cir.  July 2, 1997).  Consequently, the motions to dismiss those claims, or for summary judgment, should have been granted.
Therefore, the district court's orders of May 10, 1995, August 29, 1995, and September 7, 1995, certified for appeal under 28 U.S.C. § 1292(b), are reversed.  These cases are remanded for further proceedings consistent with our opinion in Pinal Creek.
REVERSED and REMANDED.
