Defendants.

Plaintiff is a federal prisoner proceeding pro se in a Federal Tort Claims action

pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 2671, et seq.

On August 22, 2005, an order was served upon plaintiff, denying his motion for

reconsideration. On September 2, 2005, the order was returned to the court from the U.S.

Penitentiary at Terra Haute, indicating that plaintiff is deceased.

Pursuant to Fed. R. Civ. P. 25(a)(1), successors or representatives of a deceased

party may make a motion for substitution “not later than 90 days after the death is suggested

upon the record” and continue the action. The court suggests death upon the record. Under
