UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT

(ECF No. 34)

CLERK TO TERMINATE PENDING 

MOTIONS AND CLOSE CASE

Plaintiff is a former state prisoner proceeding pro se in this civil rights action 

brought pursuant to 42 U.S.C. § 1983. The action proceeds against Defendants Capello 

and Kuntz on Plaintiff’s Eighth Amendment claims. All parties have consented to 

Magistrate Judge jurisdiction for all purposes.

On November 20, 2014, Defendants filed a motion for summary judgment. (ECF 

No. 30.) Plaintiff did not respond and, on January 7, 2015, the Court ordered Plaintiff to 

file a response or face dismissal for failure to prosecute. (ECF No. 32.) Plaintiff filed no 

opposition and, on February 18, 2015, the Court ordered Plaintiff to show cause why the 

action should not be dismissed. (ECF No. 33.) The Court’s orders were returned as 

undeliverable. Thereafter, on March 20, 2015, Defendants notified the Court of Plaintiff’s 

death on or about January 29, 2015. (ECF No. 34.)

More than ninety days have passed since Defendants served their notice of

Plaintiff’s death. No successor or representative has moved to substitute for Plaintiff as 

to any claims that were not extinguished. Accordingly, Plaintiff’s claims must be

Based on the foregoing, this action is dismissed pursuant to Federal Rule of Civil 

Procedure 25(a)(1). The Clerk’s Office is directed to terminate any pending motions and 

close the case.

IT IS SO ORDERED.
