OPINION

Plaintiffs Nue Cheer Franklin and Gladys Franklin

filed this lawsuit claiming that defendants Garden State

Life Insurance and Donna Tilley failed to pay life

insurance benefits upon the death of Elnoria Franklin.

This lawsuit is now before the court on Garden State’s

and Tilley’s motions to dismiss. For the reasons given

in a recommendation of the United States Magistrate Judge

on April 15, 2010, that the Franklins’ case should be

Case 2:10-cv-00123-MHT-TFM Document 71 Filed 09/16/10 Page 1 of 2
dismissed as to co-defendants Peggy Chinn and American

National Insurance Company, Franklin v. Garden State Life

Insurance (GSLIC), 2010 WL 3328504 (M.D. Ala 2010), the

Franklins case should also be dismissed without prejudice

as to Garden State and Tilley.

This lawsuit is also before the court on the

Franklins’ own motion to dismiss. This motion should be

granted as well.

An appropriate judgment will be entered. 

DONE, this the 16th day of September, 2010.
