AGREED ORDER GRANTING AMENDED MOTION TO INTERPLEAD FUNDS
This matter has come before the Court on the Amended Motion of Primerica Life
Insurance Company (“PLIC”), for an Order granting PLIC the interpleader relief sought in this
suit and dismissing PLIC from this action with prejudice. The Defendants have reviewed the
Amended Motion and its supporting Memorandum, and have agreed to the relief requested
therein. Therefore this Court, having been fully apprised of the facts and the Defendants’
agreement to the requested relief, finds the motion is well-taken and should be granted.
IT IS THEREFORE ORDERED AND ADJUDGED that the clerk will allow PLIC to
deposit and interplead into the registry of this Court the amounts due under the policy on the
deceased insured Reginald Moore in the amount of $100,000, plus interest at the rate of 2.0%
from May 3, 2015, through the date this Order is signed.
IT IS FURTHER ORDERED AND ADJUDGED that PLIC is hereby dismissed with
prejudice from this matter and that PLIC and/or its agents are hereby discharged from further
liability regarding the policy, the Spouse Rider, and the proceeds payable thereunder, and are
relieved of any obligation to defend any claims asserted by the Defendants in any way related to
the life insurance policy for Decedent Reginald Moore provided by the Spouse Rider to Policy
No. 0431352293.

IT IS FINALLY ORDERED AND ADJUDGED that the Defendants are hereby enjoined
from taking any action against PLIC and/or its agents relating in any manner to the policy, the
Spouse Rider, or the proceeds to be paid thereunder, including any bad-faith claims for delay of
payment or refusal to pay.
SO ORDERED, this, the 4th day of December, 2017.
