IN THE UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT

FOR THE EASTERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA

BOBBY JONES,

Plaintiff, CV F 03 5469 OWW WMW P

vs. ORDER SUGGESTING 

DEATH UPON THE RECORD

GAIL LEWIS, et al.,

Defendants.

Plaintiff is a state prisoner proceeding pro se. Plaintiff seeks relief pursuant to 42

U.S.C. § 1983.

On November 28, 2005, the court received from the U.S. Marshal a USM 285

form for service of process upon defendant Klarich. The form was returned to the court as

unexecuted, indicating that defendant Klarich is deceased. Pursuant to Fed. R. Civ. P. 25(a)(1),

successors or representatives of a deceased party may make a motion for substitution “not later

than 90 days after the death is suggested upon the record” and continue the action. Ninety days

have expired since the court received notice of plaintiff’s death. The court accepts the
