County of Los Angeles v. Athens Disposal Co.
After paying a portion of cleanup costs of a Carson landfill, plaintiff County of Los Angeles (the "County") and a number of garbage disposal districts ("GDDs") sued Athens Disposal Company, Inc. ("Athens Disposal"), among others, for contribution or indemnification. Athens Disposal contended on summary judgment that the County could not establish an essential element of its claim: that Athens Disposal was the successor in interest to a waste hauler which used the subject landfill. The trial court agreed, and entered judgment for Athens Disposal. The County appeals that judgment, contending that the trial court erred in concluding that there are no triable issues of fact regarding the County's claims. Finding no error, we affirm the judgment.
