IN THE UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT

FOR THE EASTERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA

CHARLES TROOP,

Plaintiff, CV F 04 5759 AWI WMW P

vs. ORDER SUGGESTING 

 DEATH UPON THE RECORD

E. CASTILLO, et al.,

Defendants.

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

U.S.C. § 1983.

On October 22, 2007, the Court issued findings and recommendations that this

action be dismissed for Plaintiff’s failure to prosecute. On November 13, 2007, the findings and

recommendations were returned to the court by the U.S. Postal Service, indicating that the

recommendation was undeliverable due to Plaintiff’s death. 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

of death upon the record. Under Rule 25(a)(1), unless a motion for substitution is made, “the

dismissed on February 13, 2007.

IT IS SO ORDERED.
