November 28, 2023 Filing 15 RESPONSE re 14 Order,,,,,,, --- Plaintiff-in-Interpleader Transamerica Life Insurance Company's Response to the Court's November 22, 2023 Order [ECF 14] --- by Transamerica Life Insurance Company. (Attachments: #1 Declaration of Karen T. Tsui ISO Transamerica Life Insurance Company's Response to the Court's November 22, 2023 Order [ECF 14])(Tsui, Karen) (Filed on 11/28/2023)
November 22, 2023 Opinion or Order Filing 14 ORDER. In this rule-interpleader action, the plaintiff has filed a motion to deposit the funds in question with the court. ECF No. 13. Because the other parties have not appeared yet, the court defers consideration of the motion, subject to any differing proposal by the plaintiff. In the first stage of an interpleader action, "the district court decides whether the requirements for a rule or statutory interpleader action have been met by determining [whether] there is a single fund at issue and whether there are adverse claimants to that fund." Lee v. W. Coast Life Ins. Co., 688 F.3d 1004, 1009 (9th Cir. 2012). In a rule-interpleader case, depositing the funds with the court is optional. Gelfgren v. Republic Nat'l Life Ins. Co., 680 F.2d 79, 81-82 (9th Cir. 1982). If the plaintiff does ask to deposit the funds, "Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 67... provides the mechanism" for doing so. Methven & Assocs. v. Paradies-Stroud, No. C 13-01079 JSW, 2014 WL 231654, at *2 (N.D. Cal. Jan. 21, 2014). The money may be deposited only "on notice to every other party and by leave of court." Fed. R. Civ. P. 67(a); 7 Wright & Miller, Fed. Prac. & Proc. Civ. 1714 (3d ed. 2022) ("The decision whether interpleader is appropriate is made by the court but only after all parties have been given notice and an opportunity to be heard on the question."). In light of these considerations, the court is inclined to terminate the motion without prejudice to its being re-noticed after all parties have appeared. But if the plaintiff has a different approach, it may propose it (by November 28, 2023). Otherwise, the court will terminate the motion without prejudice. Signed by Judge Laurel Beeler on November 22, 2023. (This is a text-only entry generated by the court. There is no document associated with this entry.) (lblc1, COURT STAFF) (Filed on 11/22/2023)
