PEREZ, et al., ORDER AND FINDINGS AND RECOMMENDATIONS 14 Defendants. / 15 16 On May 30, 2005, plaintiff commenced this action seeking relief for alleged civil rights 17 violations. See 42 U.S.C. § 1983. On September 14, 2007, a fellow prisoner notified the court 18 that plaintiff was deceased. Therefore, on September 21, 2007, the court stayed this action and 19 directed defendants to determine whether this was in fact true, and if so to file a notice of 20 suggestion of death as required by Rule 25 of the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure. On 21 September 26, 2007, defendants filed a notice of suggestion of death. Once such a notice is 22 filed, a person who wishes to substitute for the deceased has 90 days to file a motion to be 23 substituted as the plaintiff. Fed. R. Civ. P. 25(a)(1). Dismissal is mandatory if no such motion is 24 filed within the 90-day period. Id. 25 26 The court finds that 90 days have passed since defendants filed the notice, and no motion for substitution has been filed. 1 Dockets.Justia.com Case 2:05-cv-00872-LKK-EFB Document 31 Filed 01/10/2008 Page 2 of 2 1 Accordingly, it is hereby ORDERED that the stay is lifted. 2 Further, it is hereby RECOMMENDED that this action be dismissed. 3 These findings and recommendations are submitted to the United States District Judge 4 assigned to the case, pursuant to the provisions of 28 U.S.C. § 636(b)(l).
