State Farm v. Tashire
Rule and statutory interpleader! Must have a res, a limited fund. Greyhound couldn't interplead, for example, because their liability was unlimited.
Bus crash, State Farm wanted everyone to sue at once b/c $20,000 cap on insurance policy. Proper, but could not get an injunction against all other claims against other Ds, tail wagging the dog.
H - interpleader succeeds on only the insurance policy, all other claims arising out of the accident couldn't be enjoined from continuing in other fora.
