INC'S NOTICE on MOTION AND MOTION FOR SUMMARY JUDGMENT ELECTRONICALLY FILED Superior Court of Calif nia, County of San Francisco FEB 22 2013 Clerk of the Court BY: ALISON AGBAY Deput) Memorandum of Points and Authorities; Separate Statement of Undisputed Material Facts; Declaration of Melissa D. Ippolito, and exhibits attached thereto; Declaration of Robert W. Morgan, M.D., and exhibits attached thereto; Declaration of Khalil Sheibani, M.D., and exhibits attached thereto; and {Proposed] Order Granting Bell Products, Inc.’s Motion for Summary Judgment. May 9, 2013 9:30 a.m. Hon. Teri Jackson 503 December 17, 2010 June 10, 2013 ClerkHakr Law, A PROFESSIONAL CORPORATION Ross (“Plaintiffs”). Summary judgment is appropriate because Plaintiffs have failed to produce any admissible evidence indicating that Plaintiff Robert Ross’s alleged asbestos exposure caused his colon cancer. Furthermore, Defendant has produced affirmative evidence in the form of the Declarations of Robert W. Morgan, M.D. and Khalil Sheibani, M.D., and attached exhibits, demonstrating that to a reasonable degree of medical certainty, Plaintiff Robert Ross’s colon cancer was not caused by any alleged asbestos exposure. As such, Plaintiffs’ entire case fails for lack of causation, warranting summary judgment. (Code Civ. Proc., § 437¢(c); Rutherford v. Owens-Illinois, Inc. (1997) 16 Cal.4th 953.) This motion will be based on this Notice of Motion and Motion for Summary Judgment; Memorandum of Points and Authorities; Separate Statement of Undisputed Material Facts; Declaration of Melissa D. Ippolito, and exhibits thereto; Declaration of Robert W. Morgan, M.D., and exhibits thereto; Declaration of Khalil Sheibani, M.D., and exhibits thereto; the records and files of this case; the matters of which the Court takes judicial notice; and the oral arguments, if any, presented at the hearing.
