UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT

FOR THE EASTERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA

HUDSON INSURANCE COMPANY,

Plaintiff,

v.

JOSE CASTILLO JIMENEZ, an individual 

doing business as JC TRANSPORT; 

WESTERN FLYER EXPRESS, LLC, an 

Oklahoma limited liability company; and 

COMPASS FUNDING SOLUTIONS, 

LLC, an Illinois limited liability company

Defendants.

No. 1:18-cv-00907-DAD-SKO

ORDER DIRECTING DISBURSEMENT OF 

FUNDS AND CLOSING CASE

The third amended complaint (“TAC”) in this interpleader action alleges that plaintiff 

Hudson Insurance Company (“plaintiff” or “Hudson”) is the surety on a $75,000.00 

transportation bond, Bond Number 100670761. (Doc. No. 220 at 2.) Golden State Brokers, Inc. 

(“GSB”) is named as principal, and the interpleader defendants are “businesses and individuals in 

the trucking business . . . [and] [e]ach defendant is a claimant on the bond issued to GSB.” (Id.) 

After commencing this action, Hudson deposited $75,000.00 with this court because the 

“[c]laimant defendants [] made conflicting demands upon [Hudson] to the aforesaid money . . . 

for damages allegedly caused by GSB.” (Id. at 3; see also Doc. No. 18.) Hudson initially 

included over sixty entities as interpleader defendants (see Doc. No. 4 at 1–3), but now alleges 

that, “[d]ue to defaults and dismissals of parties, only three defendants remain”—namely,

defendant Jose Castillo Jimenez (doing business as JC Transport), defendant Western Flyer

Express, LLC, and defendant Compass Funding Solutions, LLC (collectively, “defendants”). 

(Doc. No. 220 at 3.) Indeed, a review of the docket in this matter reveals that each of the 

previously named defendants either (1) had default entered against it or (2) is not named as a 

defendant in the operative TAC.

On April 1, 2020, plaintiff and defendants filed a stipulation that this action be dismissed,

and that the deposited funds be distributed to the parties in accordance with the terms of that

stipulation.

 (Doc. No. 230.) Given the foregoing, and having reviewed the parties’ stipulation:

1. The funds deposited with court totaling $75,000.00, plus all accrued interest, shall 

be disbursed by the Clerk of the Court as follows:

a. $49,050.00 payable to “Hudson Insurance Company” and mailed to 

Timothy Tomlin, Esq., Law Offices of John L. Fallat, 68 Mitchell Blvd., 

Suite 135, San Rafael, CA 94903;

b. $8,300.00 payable to “Western Flyer Express, LLC” and mailed to Lenden 

F. Webb, Esq., Webb Law Group, APC, 10509 Vista Sorrento Parkway, 

Suite 430, San Diego, CA 92121;

c. $8,800.00 payable to “Compass Funding Solutions, LLC” and mailed to 

Lenden F. Webb, Esq., Webb Law Group, APC, 10509 Vista Sorrento 

Parkway, Suite 430, San Diego, CA 92121;

d. $8,850.00 payable to Jose Castillo Jimenez and mailed to Jose Castillo 

Jimenez, 9274 Feather Way, Delhi, CA 95315; and

e. Any interest on the deposited funds shall be disbursed to the parties 

according to the following percentage distributions: Hudson Insurance 

Company is to receive 66.46%; Western Flyer Express, LLC is to receive 

 

1

 The parties previously filed a different stipulation seeking disbursement of the deposited funds. 

(See Doc. No. 226.) However, the disbursements the parties proposed in that stipulation 

exceeded the total sum of the deposited funds, and the court directed the parties to file an 

amended stipulation or otherwise clarify that discrepancy. (Doc. No. 229.) Because the parties 

have filed this amended stipulation, the court will not give effect to the earlier filed stipulation.

11.07%; Compass Funding Solutions, LLC is to receive 10.67%; and Jose 

Castillo Jimenez is to receive 11.80%;

2. The court will retain jurisdiction over the action to the extent necessary to enforce 

the parties’ stipulation and this order; and

3. This action is dismissed with prejudice and the Clerk of Court is directed to close 

this case.

IT IS SO ORDERED.
