Midland National Life Insurance Company v. Flowers, et al.
MEMORANDUM
PETER J. MESSITTE UNITED STATES DISTRICT JUDGE.
On September 7, 2023, the Court granted Midland leave to deposit into the Registry of this Court, nunc pro tunc to December 19, 2022 (the date the Complaint was filed), the disputed insurance proceeds in the amount of $100,000.00, plus any applicable interest. ECF No. 35. However, the Court has no record of the funds actually having been deposited. Midland shall therefore promptly indicate when it proposes to do so.
The Court notes that on March 24, 2023, Midland submitted a status report staling the following: “Once the pending motions are addressed, Midland's amended complaint has been filed, service is complete on all Defendants, and Midland has deposited its admitted liability with the Court, Midland intends to seek an Order of Interpleader discharging it from liability awarding it the relief sought in the Complaint, and dismissing it from the case, with prejudice.” ECF No. 13. Please advise whether this is still Midland's intention, and if so, when it plans to seek such an Order of Interpleader.
Despite the informal nature of this letter, it shall constitute an Order of the Court and the Clerk is directed to docket it accordingly.
