UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT 

FOR THE EASTERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA 

DARIUS SIMS, 

Plaintiff, 

v. 

J. CANTU, et al., 

Defendants. 

No. 2:16-cv-0204 JAM AC P 

FINDINGS AND RECOMMENDATIONS 

 A statement noting the death of plaintiff Darius Sims was filed on October 24, 2019, ECF 

No. 40, and personal service made on plaintiff’s potential successor on October 31, 2019, ECF 

No. 42. Pursuant to Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 25(a)(1), if a motion for substitution “is not 

made within 90 days after service of a statement noting the death, the action by or against the 

decedent must be dismissed.” That time period has now expired and no motion for substitution 

has been filed. 

 Accordingly, IT IS HEREBY RECOMMENDED that this action be dismissed. 

 These findings and recommendations are submitted to the United States District Judge 

assigned to the case, pursuant to the provisions of 28 U.S.C. § 636(b)(l). Within fourteen days 

after service of these findings and recommendations, any written objections may be filed with the 

court. The document should be captioned “Objections to Magistrate Judge’s Findings and 

Recommendations.” Any response to the objections shall be filed and served within fourteen
