O R D E R

Before the court is an amended suggestion of the death of defendant George Jeffrey and

a motion to dismiss (Doc. 67). On September 13, 2006, a return of service was filed noting that

George Jeffrey had been personally served at his residence on August 17, 2006 (Doc. 50). An

answer was filed on his behalf on September 14, 2006 (Doc. 51). 

Defendant George Jeffrey died on September 8, 2006 (Doc. 67). As noted above, he was

personally served on August 17th. 

Plaintiff has indicated that he is suing the defendants in both their individual and official

capacities. (Doc. 20). For this reason, Regina Fox Jeffrey, in her capacity as Personal

Representative of the Estate of George Jeffrey, is hereby substituted as a defendant in this

case. The clerk is directed to substitute Regina Fox Jeffrey as Personal Representative for

the Estate of George Jeffrey as a defendant in place of George Jeffrey.

As George Jeffrey was served prior to his death, the court need not direct service of the

complaint on Regina Fox Jeffrey. In view of the substitution, the motions to dismiss (Doc. 53

and Doc. 67) are moot.

IT IS SO ORDERED this 14th day of November 2006.
