NOTICE OF INTENT TO
RECONSIDER AND ORDER SETTING
HEARING
v.
CENTURY SURETY COMPANY,
(DKT. #192, #194, #197)
Defendant.
10
11
I have reconsidered a portion of my prior order (Dkt. #168) regarding whether defendant
12
Century Surety Company is bound by the default judgment entered in the underlying litigation,
13
and whether Allstate Insurance Co. v. Pietrosh, 454 P.2d 106 (Nev. 1969) and its progeny apply
14
in the general liability context. On reconsideration, I am inclined to rule that Century is bound by
15
the default judgment’s findings on liability and damages (capped at $1 million because there was
16
no bad faith). But Century may challenge the binding nature of the default judgment if it was
17
obtained through fraud or collusion.
18
IT IS THEREFORE ORDERED that oral argument on defendant’s motion for summary
19
judgment (Dkt. #192), plaintiffs’ motion for summary judgment (Dkt. #194), plaintiffs’ motion to
20
strike (Dkt. #197), and this Notice of Intent to Reconsider will be held on Thursday, September
21
17, 2015 on a stacked calendar at 2:00 p.m. at the Thomas & Mack Moot Court Room at
22
UNLV’s Boyd School of Law.
