Opinion
HANSON (P. D.), J.
Petitioners seek a writ of mandate ordering the trial court to vacate an order of March 23, 1981, entered against them on their defense of a good-faith dismissal as a bar to cross-complainant Valley Children’s Hospital and Guidance Clinic’s (Hospital’s) claim for equitable indemnity. (Code Civ. Proc., § 877.)
The trial court ruled that the dismissal, for costs, of petitioners in plaintiffs’ action for wrongful death is not a bar, under Code of Civil Procedure section 877, to Hospital’s continuing action on its cross-complaint for partial equitable indemnity.
