ORDER1
SHERI POLSTER CHAPPELL, District Judge.
Before the Court is the parties' Joint Motion to Dismiss with Prejudice (Doc. 63). This is an interpleader action, and Plaintiff Pruco Life Insurance Company deposited the contested funds into the Court's registry. Now, Pruco seeks dismissal with prejudice and reasonable attorney's fees. All parties consent to Pruco's dismissal and entitlement to attorney's fees. (Docs. 63; 69). And dismissals are commonly granted in interpleader cases after an insurer deposits the contested funds into the registry. E.g., Podhurst Orseck, P.A. v. Servicios Legales de Mesoamerica S. de R.L., 699 F.Supp.2d 1344, 1349 (S.D. Fla. 2010). The Court grants the Joint Motion to Dismiss with prejudice (Doc. 63) along with reasonable attorney's fees of $10,000.00. The case remains open as the Defendants litigate their claims over the remaining funds in the Court's registry.
Accordingly, it is now
ORDERED:
1. The parties' Joint Motion to Dismiss (Doc. 63) is GRANTED. Pruco is DISMISSED from this action with prejudice.
2. The Clerk is DIRECTED to disperse funds amounting to $10,000.00 from the Court's registry payable to Pruco Life Insurance Company by mailing payment to its counsel of record.
3. The case remains open while the Defendants litigate their competing claims to the remaining funds in the Court's registry.
DONE and ORDERED.
