U.S. Code as of:
01/19/04
Section 2361. Process and procedure
In any civil action of interpleader or in the nature of
interpleader under section 1335 of this title, a district court may
issue its process for all claimants and enter its order restraining
them from instituting or prosecuting any proceeding in any State or
United States court affecting the property, instrument or
obligation involved in the interpleader action until further order
of the court. Such process and order shall be returnable at such
time as the court or judge thereof directs, and shall be addressed
to and served by the United States marshals for the respective
districts where the claimants reside or may be found.
Such district court shall hear and determine the case, and may
discharge the plaintiff from further liability, make the injunction
permanent, and make all appropriate orders to enforce its judgment.
