Third-party defendant/third-party plaintiff SPRI Products, Inc. (“SPRI”) moves for an

14

order determining the settlement it has agreed to with plaintiff Jennifer K. Lovett qualifies as a

15

good-faith settlement within the meaning of California Code of Civil Procedure sections 877, et

16

seq. and according to the factors set forth in Tech-Bilt, Inc. v. Woodward-Clyde & Assocs., 38 Cal.

17

3d 488 (1985). No opposition has been filed. Pursuant to California Code of Civil Procedure

18

section 877.6(b) and Civil Local Rule 7-1(b), the motion can be disposed of without a hearing.

Because the settlement qualifies as a good-faith settlement according to sections 877, et seq. and

20

Tech-Bilt, SPRI’s motion is granted and the hearing scheduled for January 12, 2017 is vacated.
