18 General Acrylics, Inc. ("General Acrylicsâ€) hereby tiles its Response to
19 Defendants’ Motion to Certify for Interlocutory Appeal. While General Acrylics {
20 disputes many of the factual matters and characterizations set forth in Defendants’
21 Motion to Certify, General Acrylics does not disagree that it would be within this
22 Court’s discretion to certify its prior Orders and allow for an interlocutory appeal of
23 the coverage issue which the Court adjudicated in favor of General Acrylics.
24 For the record, General Acrylics challenges the notion that Judge Martone’s
25 decision in US. Home Corporation v. Maryland Casualty Company, et al., CV—04-
26 l I5-PHX-FIM is "diametrically different" from the core issues addressed in this case.
27 Without knowing or viewing the entire record in that matter, including but not limited j

1 to, the statement of facts, evidence and affidavits which were submitted, the
2 arguments which were made, the policy provisions which were emphasized, and the _
3 E context in which the issues were raised, it cannot be determined whether the ruling in
4 E that case is in conflict with the ruling in this case. All General Acrylics can say is
5 that, based upon the undisputed material facts which were before this Court in this
6 case, a correct and proper decision on the motions for summary judgment was made.
7 Notwithstanding the foregoing comments, General Acrylics completely defers i
8 to this Court with respeqt to Defendants’ Motion to Certify for Interlocutory Appeal.
