IN THE UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT

FOR THE EASTERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA

KENNETH ALLEN NEIGHBORS,

Plaintiff, No. CIV S-06-1611 RRB EFB P

vs.

KEMP, et al.,

Defendants. FINDINGS AND RECOMMENDATIONS

 /

This civil rights action brought under 42 U.S.C. § 1983 was filed by a state prisoner

proceeding without counsel and in forma pauperis. On April 30, 2007, defendants filed a

statement of fact of death of plaintiff with proof of personal service on plaintiff’s next known

family member. Rule 25 of the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure provides that unless a motion

for substitution is made “not later than 90 days after the death is suggested upon the record by

service of a statement of the fact of the death, . . . the action shall be dismissed as to the deceased

party.” The 90-day period provided for in Rule 25 has expired and no notice of substitution has

been filed. 

Accordingly, IT IS HEREBY RECOMMENDED that this action be dismissed and the

Clerk of the Court be directed to close this case.
