ELR Citation: ELR 20441
No(s). 79-1426 (E.D. Pa. Apr 27, 1984)

The court holds that defendants' motion for a ruling that plaintiff may not recover costs from third-party defendant generators is not ripe. The court first rejects defendants' unsupported argument that plaintiff is estopped from seeking recovery from the third-party defendants. The court then rules that it cannot address defendants' argument that government recovery from thirdparty defendants would be double recovery until plaintiff files an action against the third-party defendants making clear what recovery it seeks. To attempt to rule on the motion under the circumstances also would be unfair to third-party defendants.
