Date Filed Document Text
August 9, 2023 Filing 35 MINUTE ORDER IN CHAMBERS of the Honorable Judge Cristina D. Silva on 8/9/2023. Plaintiff Arch Insurance Company seeks final discharge from this interpleader action. ECF No. #32 . While Arch titles its motion as a motion to dismiss itself, I construe it as a motion for final discharge. See Fed. R. Civ. P. 8(e) ("Pleadings must be construed so as to do justice."). And Arch has met its burden to be discharged. See Genworth Life & Annuity Ins. Co. v. Ruckman, 2019 WL 6255480 (D. Nev. Nov. 22, 2019) (describing motions for final discharge in the interpleader context). The defendants who have responded do not oppose Arch's motion. ECF No. #33 . Defendant Daniel Hardy has not responded, despite the deadline to respond passing on July 26, 2023. Regardless, Arch has deposited the entire disputed amount with this court such that it is a disinterested party. ECF No. 29 . And all counterclaims against it have been withdrawn or dismissed as well. ECF No. #21 . Based on the responding defendants' non-opposition and Archs position as a disinterested party that faces no remaining claims in this action, IT IS HEREBY ORDERED that Arch Insurance Company is discharged from this case. IT IS FURTHER ORDERED that Arch is released from all further liability in connection with the subject policy and the interpleader proceeds herein.
