UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT

FOR THE EASTERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA

ANDREW RAMIREZ,

Plaintiff,

v.

P.A. MIRANDA, et al.,

Defendants.

No. 2:13-cv-0600 KJN P

ORDER

Plaintiff was a state prisoner proceeding in forma pauperis. Plaintiff consented to proceed 

before the undersigned for all purposes. See 28 U.S.C. § 636(c). On July 30, 2014, the 

undersigned issued an order to plaintiff’s next of kin, Andrew Ramirez, Jr., asking him to notify 

the court, within forty-five days, whether he would waive personal service of the notice of 

suggestion of death on the record, and to inform the court whether he would file a motion for 

substitution or did not intend to pursue this action. The mailing was not returned from the postal 

service, but Andrew Ramirez, Jr., has not responded to the July 30, 2014 order.

Therefore, the undersigned orders the United States Marshal to personally serve a copy of 

the instant order, as well as a copy of the July 30, 2014 suggestion of death on the record and 

order on plaintiff’s next of kin, Andrew Ramirez, Jr., who is granted ninety days from the date of 

personal service in which to file a motion for substitution of parties in this case. Mr. Ramirez, Jr., 

is informed that failure to timely file such motion for substitution will result in the dismissal of

2. Within fourteen days from the date of this order, the United States Marshal shall

personally serve Andrew Ramirez, Jr., 4481 Heather Circle, Chino, California 91710, with the 

instant order, and a copy of the July 30, 2014 suggestion of death on the record and order.

3. Within ninety days from the date of personal service, plaintiff’s next of kin, Andrew 

Ramirez, Jr., shall file a motion for substitution in this action, if he so desires. Failure to file such 

motion will result in the dismissal of this action.
