context: (See DE 11 at 2). After considering State Farm's Motion, I find that impleader under Rule 14(a) is appropriate because State Farm's claims against Betancourt are based on Osorio's claim against State Farm. State Farm's claims for common law indemnification and contractual indemnification are not separate and independent claims arising out of the same facts as Osorio's claim against State Farm.
