statutory interpleader jurisdiction

Post by seasidemama » Sun Jun 12, 2016 5:30 am

trying to make sense of my outlines


1) In Statutory Interpleader, Personal Jurisdiction is proper anywhere in U.S.
2) Venue is proper in district any claimant resides

Consider this ex:

Stakeholder State A
potential claimants states B, C & D

Stakeholder files in Fed State A
________________________________________
How can jurisdiction be proper but venue improper? what rule am I missing? (is the stakeholder considered claimant for venue purposes?)

figuring out a question from adaptibar - don't have the exact text. q was asking for proper jurisdiction but I got it wrong because I was confused as to venue. Now I see elsewhere that so long as jurisdiction is proper venue may be where any claimant resides - this is for statutory interpleader.

I was confused since generally, venue is proper where any D resides (where all Ds same state) or where substantial part of claim arose or property located.
