Case No.: 2:10-cv-00510-GMN-LRL
ORDER

10

Before the Court is Defendant/Cross-Defendant Copper Sands Realty, LLC‟s (“CS

11

Realty”) Motion to Dismiss Defendant/Cross-Claimant Irwin Mortgage Corporation‟s (“Irwin”)

12

cross-claim. (ECF No. 62.) The Court GRANTS the Motion to Dismiss.
Irwin‟s cross-claim asserts five causes of action: (1) Total Indemnity; (2) Implied

13
14

Indemnity; (3) Equitable Indemnity; (4) Contribution; (5) Declaratory Relief. Since the filing

15

of its cross-claim on June 14, 2010, a Third Amended Complaint has been filed by the

16

Plaintiffs in the instant case (ECF No. 154), and Irwin has filed Notice of Bankruptcy Upon the

17

Record (ECF No. 259).
Because the facts underlying Irwin‟s cross-claim are still being developed and the claims

18
19

themselves do not appear to be ripe,1 this Court declines to rule on Irwin‟s claims at this time.

20

The Motion to Dismiss Irwin‟s cross-claim is GRANTED without prejudice. The Court grants

21

Irwin leave to re-file the motion when judgment against Irwin appears imminent.

See Rodriguez v. Primadonna Co., LLC, 216 P.3d 793, 801 (Nev. 2009) (“Implied indemnification has been developed by
the courts to address the unfairness which results when one party, who has committed no independent wrong, is held liable
for the loss of a plaintiff caused by another party [citation omitted]. Generally, the remedy is available after the defendant
has extinguished its own liability through settlement or by paying a judgment . . . „a cause of action for indemnity…accrues
when payment has been made.‟”); Douglas v. Don King Productions, Inc., 736 F.Supp. 223 (D. Nev. 1990) (holding that
“the court cannot grant declaratory relief if the asserted controversy involves only future or speculative rights”).
