OPINION

Invoking this court’s diversity-of-citizenship

jurisdiction 28 U.S.C § 1332, plaintiff State Farm Fire

and Casualty Company filed this interpleader lawsuit

against defendants Constance Taylor and Jason Wagner. 

State Farm was released and discharged from any and all

liability to Taylor and Wagner arising out of a fire loss

and an insurance policy covering that loss. This lawsuit

is now before the court on the recommendation of the

United States Magistrate Judge that, based on the

undisputed facts, Wagner’s motion for disbursement of the

Case 1:12-cv-01117-MHT-WC Document 68 Filed 02/25/14 Page 1 of 2
interplead funds should be granted. Also before the court

are Taylor’s objections to the recommendation and her own

motion for disbursement of funds. Although given many

opportunities, Taylor has failed to show that there are

any disputed facts or that the undisputed facts warrant

disbursement of the funds to her. After an independent

and de novo review of the record, therefore, the court

concludes that the magistrate judge’s recommendation

should be adopted.

An appropriate judgment will be entered.

DONE, this the 25th day of February, 2014.
