IN THE UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT

FOR THE EASTERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA

ROBERT THOM,

Plaintiff, No. CIV S-05-0872 LKK EFB P

vs.

M. PEREZ, et al.,

Defendants. ORDER

 /

Plaintiff is a prisoner without counsel seeking relief for civil rights violations. See 42

U.S.C. § 1983. On September 10, 2007, a prisoner who is not a party to this action notified the

court that plaintiff is deceased. If true, it appears that this is an action that would not survive

plaintiff’s death. The court declines to proceed with this action until either there is a notice of

suggestion of death on the record pursuant to Rule 25 of the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure, or

a showing that plaintiff is not deceased. 

Accordingly, it is ORDERED that:

1. Defendants shall, within 30 days of the date this order is served, determine whether

plaintiff is deceased and if he is, file a proper notice pursuant to Rule 25 of the Federal Rules of 

Civil Procedure; and
