HI- Mr. Maadarani is Entitled to Recovery from the Interpleaded Funds
In acknowledgment ofits debt to Mr. Maadarani, primarily for his services on the HII
contract, Cyberlux explicitly promised to pay Mr. Maadarani out ofthe monies it would receive
on that contract. Furthermore, Mr. Maadarani relied on those promises to his detriment (exhibit
3). Those specific monies from HII are the subject ofthis interpleader.
Legal Argument
I. Summary Judgment
The court shall grant summary judgment ifthe movant shows that there is no genuine dispute
as to any material fact and the movant is entitled to judgment as a matter oflaw. Federal Rule of
Civil Procedure 56(a).
Summary judgment is proper “ifthe pleadings, depositions, answers to interrogatories,
and admissions on file, together with the affidavits, if any, show that there is no genuine issue as
to any material fact and that the moving party is entitled to a judgment as a matter oflaw.”
Celotex Corp, v. Catrett, 477 U.S. 317, 322 (1986). The moving party bears the initial burden of
stating the basis for its motion and identifying those portions ofthe record demonstrating the
absence of genuine issues ofmaterial fact. Celotex, 477 U.S. at 323; Hickson Corp, v. N.

The memorandum invokes Rule 56 and cited cases and asserts no contrary evidence from Cyberlux or other parties regarding the amount or source of payment. That is the movant’s evidential position, not a verified absence across the litigation record. Page 4 literally describes the nonmoving party showing an absence of evidence to support the nonmoving party’s case; the source wording is not adopted as a correct statement of the rule.

employee wage debt because of Datron’s failure to respond to that complaint. Notably, pursuant
to California law its “failure to answer has the same effect as an express admission ofthe matters
well pleaded in the complaint.” Kim v. Westmoore Partners Inc., 201 Cal. App 4th 267 (2011).
In other words, Cyberlux d/b/a Datron has admitted the allegations in Mr. Maadarani’s
California complaint (exhibit 6). Mr. Maadarani is therefore entitled to summary judgment on
count two (breach of contract). This court has authority to orderjudgment from the interpleaded
funds by function of 28 U.S.C. § 1335 and 28 U.S.C. § 2361, as included in count one.
II. Priority
Mr. Maadarani should have priority over the other parties and interveners since “wages
due workers underpaid on the contract have priority over any assignee ofthe contractor,
including assignments made under the Assignment of Claims Act, 31. U.S.C. 203, 41 U.S.C. 15,
to funds withheld under the contract, since an assignee can acquire no greater rights to withheld
funds that the assignor has in the absence of an assignment.” Computer Data Systems, Inc, v.
Automated Business Systems & Services, Inc., 1992 U.S. Dist. LEXIS 8047 (DCDC 1992)
citing 29 CFR 4.187 (b)(4); see also, 29 CFR 4.187 (b) “Priority to withheld funds. The
Comptroller General has afforded employee wage claims priority over an Internal Revenue
Service levy for unpaid taxes.”

Maadarani requests $1,062,576.98 plus costs, reasonable attorney fees, pre- and post-judgment interest and employee-wage priority.

The memorandum invokes Rule 56 and cited cases and asserts no contrary evidence from Cyberlux or other parties regarding the amount or source of payment. That is the movant’s evidential position, not a verified absence across the litigation record.
