UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT

NORTHERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA

VALLEY FORGE LIFE INSURANCE 

COMPANY,

Plaintiff, No. C 06-6415 PJH 

v. ORDER DENYING MOTION

FOR DISCHARGE OF

STAKEHOLDER AND DIRECTING

RETURN OF FUNDS

DENA HULSE, an individual and as mother

an natural guardian of BRIAN HULSE, a 

minor, and CAROL HULSE, an individual,

Defendants.

___________________________________/

On July 6, 2007, this court deferred ruling on plaintiff Valley Forge Life Insurance

Company’s (“Valley Forge”) motion for discharge of stakeholder in the interpleader action. 

The court allowed Valley Forge the opportunity to submit briefing to the court within fifteen

days with authority that the court could exercise jurisdiction over the stakeholder fund in the

absence of jurisdiction over the underlying dispute. The court noted that if it did not receive

such briefing, it would deny Valley Forge’s motion without prejudice, enter judgment on the

entire case, and direct the clerk to return the funds to the stakeholder. As Valley Forge has

not submitted any briefing to the court, it is hereby ORDERED that Valley Forge’s motion is

DENIED WITHOUT PREJUDICE to refiling the motion in the proper court. The clerk is

hereby DIRECTED to return the funds to the stakeholder. 

IT IS SO ORDERED.
