COMPANY,

Plaintiff

EL CAMINO IRRIGATION DISTRICT,

et. al.,

 Defendants. 

Case No :2:07-cv-02773-GEB-EFB

 

JUDGMENT AND ORDER

This action is an interpleader to determine which of the consensual, statutory or judgment

lienholders are entitled to have their liens paid from the remaining proceeds from the foreclosure sale

of a property whose street address is 10080 J Street, Live Oak, California, 95953. 

Plaintiff caused all the recorded lienholders and the former owners of the property to be duly

served with summons and complaints. One judgment creditor, Statewide Credit and Collection Bureau,

stipulated that it should be dismissed because it had no interest in the surplus proceeds. Another

judgment creditor, Fresno Credit Bureau, failed to answer and was defaulted by the Clerk of Court at

the request of the Plaintiff. Similarly, the former owners, Shahida and Imdad Khan, failed to answer

and were defaulted by the Clerk of Court at the request of Plaintiff.

The United States of America, on behalf of its Department of Agriculture, Farm Service Agency

(FSA), answered and asserted that its consensual liens were prior in time to that of all other recorded

liens on the property. El Camino Irrigation District answered and asserted that its statutory liens are

superior to all other recorded liens on the property. FSA and El Camino Irrigation District stipulated

that El Camino’s statutory liens are superior to FSA’s prior voluntary liens and that El Camino should

stipulated that Plaintiff’s attorneys’ fees and costs of this action in the total sum of $3,120.86 should be

paid from said surplus funds.

United States of America.
