Plaintiff,

v. ORDER

UNION PACIFIC RAILROAD

----oo0oo----

This action, brought on behalf of Plaintiff Jeff Nickles,

seeks damages for injuries sustained by Mr. Nickles as a result

of a railroad accident that occurred on November 9, 2006. 

Presently before the Court is a Motion for Leave to File Second

Amended Complaint. That Motion is made in the wake of

Mr. Nickles’ death on January 13, 2010 and seeks to amend the

pleadings to reflect the fact that this lawsuit is now being

pursued by Jeff Nickles II as Administrator of Mr. Nickles’

Estate.
