See Local Rule 36(c). _________________________________________________________________ OPINION PER CURIAM: Lancaster County School District in South Carolina engaged Southeast Service Corporation to provide the School District janitorial services at its schools. The School District alleges that on November 26, 1992, an employee of Southeast Service at the Barr Street Junior High School negligently placed a hot, propane powered floor polish- ing machine into a janitorial closet that was full of combustible mate- rials, causing a fire and approximately $800,000 in property damage. The School District was insured by the South Carolina Insurance Reserve Fund which paid the loss. As subrogee, the Insurance Reserve Fund now seeks reimbursement of the loss from Southeast Service based on its employee's negligence. Paragraph 11 of the janitorial services contract between the School District and Southeast Service reads: Waiver of Subrogation: The Contractor and Lancaster County School District mutually agree to waive their rights for loss or damage to each respective party's building, equipment, improvement, or other property whatsoever because of fire, explosion, or any other cause normally cov- ered in standard form fire and casualty insurance policies with extended endorsements. Each party has the responsibil- ity to adequately insure its real and/or personal property against loss or damages caused by fire, theft, or other disas- ter. Relying on this provision, Southeast Service filed a motion for sum- mary judgment claiming that paragraph 11 was clear and unambigu- ous and that, under the provision, the parties waived their rights against each other for property damage caused by fire. The district court granted the motion for summary judgment and entered judg- ment in favor of Southeast Service. This appeal followed. 2 We have considered the arguments of counsel and reviewed the record in this case. For the reasons amply stated by the district court in its opinion entering summary judgment, we affirm. See Lancaster County School District v. Southeast Service Corp. , No. 3:95-1793-17 (D.S.C. May 7, 1996). AFFIRMED 3
