Central Michigan Board of Trustees v. Employers Reinsurance Corp.

OPINION AND ORDER GRANTING DEFENDANT’S MOTION FOR SUMMARY JUDGMENT AND DENYING PLAINTIFFS’ MOTION FOR SUMMARY JUDGMENT

LAWSON, District Judge.

Plaintiffs have commenced an action invoking this Court’s diversity jurisdiction to recover attorney fees and expenses they paid on behalf of Dr. Martin Spartz in defending an Isabella County, Michigan lawsuit alleging assault and battery. Janet Barnes alleged in her complaint in that case that Dr. Spartz, a Central Michigan University chemistry professor, made unwanted sexual contact with her in 1995 when she was a student at Central Michigan University.
