 Annotate this Case
US Court of Appeals for the Ninth Circuit - 54 F.3d 786 (9th Cir. 1995) Argued and Submitted April 7, 1995. Decided May 10, 1995

Before: McKAY,*  REINHARDT, and FERNANDEZ, Circuit Judges.

MEMORANDUM** 

State Farm Insurance Company brought this action against the United States for recovery of damages paid to its insureds who were injured when an intentionally set fire in a national forest escaped the control of the United States Forest Service and destroyed the insureds' properties. The district court dismissed the case, and State Farm appealed.

We reverse for the reasons set forth in our opinion in Anderson v. United States, No. 93-56321, slip op. 5087 (9th Cir. May 4, 1995).

REVERSED and REMANDED.
