British International Insurance Company Limited v. Seguros La Republica

Argued: June 11, 2003 Decided: August 26, 2003 Motion to Vacate Judgment: September 22, 2003 The reinsurance dispute underlying this appeal was resolved by an opinion, familiarity with which is assumed. See British Int'l Ins. Co. v. Seguros La Republica, S.A., 342 F.3d 78 (2d Cir. 2003)(the ""Opinion""). Plaintiff-Appellant British International Insurance Company Limited (""BIIC"") now moves for an order vacating that Opinion. BIIC contends that the parties entered into a stipulation to withdraw the appeal five days prior to issuance of the Opinion, and that although the stipulation was not filed prior to issuance of the Opinion and mandate, it effectively mooted the case or controversy and ended this Court's jurisdiction. Defendant-Appellee Seguros La Republica, S.A. (""Seguros"") takes no position on BIIC's motion. BACKGROUND
