Univ. of Southern Cal. v. Sargon Enterprises, Inc.
This appeal arises out of long-running litigation between appellant Sargon Enterprises, Inc. (Sargon) and the University of Southern California (USC). Sargon prevailed in that litigation, and a judgment for damages of $433,000, plus attorney fees of $4 million, was entered in Sargon’s favor in 2007 and affirmed on appeal.
Meanwhile, in 2011, USC interpled the attorney fee award, naming as defendants Sargon, appellant American Equity Insurance Company (AEIC), and respondent Browne George Ross LLP (BGR), among others. At issue in the present appeal is the $440,469 interpleader judgment for AEIC, from which both Sargon and AEIC have appealed.
