Description

BURKE, Justice. In this appeal and cross-appeal, the parties challenge different aspects of the superior court's attorney's fee award. The
court awarded State Farm Insurance Company $1,000 in partial attorney's fees after granting State Farm's summary judgment
motion and dismissing State Farm from the underlying interpleader action. State Farm argues on appeal that it is entitled
to full attorney's fees under indemnity and bad faith litigation theories. The Wrights argue in their cross-appeal that the
superior court erred in imposing attorney's fees jointly and severally against the Wrights and American Manufacturers Mutual
Insurance (AMMIC) and refusing to use the interpleader fund as the source of the fees. We affirm the attorney's fee award.
