Defendants.

COMPLAINT

PLAINTIFF, by counsel, respectfully states;THAT----

1. Plaintiff and defendant are all of legal age; plaintiff resides at


Zone 6, Barangay Pago, Tanauan, Leyte while the defendant reside at Zone
2, BarangayLicod, Tanauan, Leyte and Zone 3, Barangay Buntay, Tanauan,
Leyte, respectively, where they may be served with pertinent notices.

2. On 1 January 2020, plaintiff found a Gold-Tone Michael


Kors watch, without knowing who its true owner is. The watch is now in the
possession of the plaintiff. On or about 4 January 2020, defendants made
similar representations to plaintiff as to the ownership of the watch.

3. Plaintiff, who claims no interest in the watch, cannot


determine the conflicting claims of defendants and thus seeks to compel
defendants to interplead and litigate their several claims between
themselves.

WHEREFORE, it is respectfully prayed that this Honorable Court


issue an order directing defendants to interplead with one another to
determine their respective rights and claims and to allow plaintiff to recover
his expenses for safekeeping and the costs of this suit, as first lien upon the
subject matter of this action.
Carigara Leyte, 10 June 2020.
