INTEX PLASTICS CORPORATION, Successor in interest to Intex
Plastics Sales Company, Plaintiff-Appellant,
v.
UNITED NATIONAL INSURANCE COMPANY; New England Reinsurance
Corporation; First State Insurance Company; Old
Republic Insurance Company; Twin City
Fire Insurance Company,
Defendants-Appellees.
No. 92-56102.
United States Court of Appeals, Ninth Circuit.
Submitted April 1, 1994.*
Decided May 4, 1994.
Before: PREGERSON, CANBY, and RYMER, Circuit Judges.
MEMORANDUM**
Intex Plastics Corporation appeals the district court's judgment in favor of United National Insurance Company and its other liability insurers in Intex's diversity action seeking indemnity for an adverse judgment in a patent infringement suit brought by Charles Hall. We previously held that the insurers had no duty to defend Intex in the Hall action. Intex Plastics Sales Co. v. United Nat'l Ins. Co., Nos. 91-55276, 91-55330 (9th Cir. May 2, 1994). The duty to defend is broader than the duty to indemnify. Horace Mann Ins. Co. v. Barbara B., 4 Cal.4th 1076, 1081 (1993). Hence, there can be no duty to indemnify where there is no duty to defend.
AFFIRMED.
