UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT 

NORTHERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA 

GUARDIAN LIFE INSURANCE 

COMPANY OF AMERICA, 

Plaintiff, 

v. 

ANN ATCHISON WATERHOUSE, et al., 

Defendants. 

Case No. 15-cv-03271-DMR 

ORDER RE: PLAINTIFF’S DEPOSIT 

INTERPLEADER FUNDS 

Re: Dkt. Nos. 5, 9 

On July 14, 2015, Plaintiff filed a complaint in interpleader. On the same day, Plaintiff 

deposited interpleader funds in the amount of $224,901.20 into the Court’s registry. See Docket 

Nos. 5, 9. 

Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 67(a) provides that “[i]f any part of the relief sought is a 

money judgment or the disposition of a sum of money or some other deliverable thing, a party—

on notice to every other party and by leave of court—may deposit with the court all or part of the 

money or thing, whether or not that party claims any of it.” Furthermore, “[t]he depositing party 

must deliver to the clerk a copy of the order permitting deposit.” Fed. R. Civ. P. 67(a). 

Plaintiff did not leave of the court prior to depositing the funds, as required by Rule 67(a). 

Nonetheless, the Court finds that Plaintiff’s deposit of the funds into the Court’s registry is 

otherwise proper, and the Court therefore orders as follows: 

(1) Plaintiff is authorized to deposit the sum of $224,901.20 with the United States 

District Court for the Northern District of California. 

(2) The Clerk of the Court shall deposit the funds into “an interest-bearing account or 

invested in a court-approved, interest-bearing instrument,” see Fed. R. Civ. P. 67(b),
