ORDER 

 From the second amended complaint (doc. no. 62), it 

is unclear whether Alabama State University or the 

Board of Trustees of Alabama State University or both 

are defendants. The amended complaint lists only the 

Board of Trustees in the style while ¶¶ 1 and 12 list 

only ASU as the defendant. To resolve this ambiguity, 

it is ORDERED that both Alabama State University and 

the Board of Trustees of Alabama State University are 

defendants in this case. If plaintiffs intended for 

only one of these to be a defendant, the plaintiffs

are, within seven days, to file a motion to dismiss the 

defendant that they did not intend to include. 

 DONE, this the 23rd day of April, 2015.
