Plaintiff, Silverton Mortgage Specialists, Inc., filed suit against Defendants Silverton Bank, N.A., Silverton Financial Services, Inc., Silverton Capital Corporation, and Silverton Bridge Bank, N.A., on June 12, 2009. On July 13, 2009, the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation as the duly appointed Receiver for Defendant Silverton Bank, N.A. filed the instant motion to substitute the FDIC as a Defendant in the matter pursuant to Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 25(c).

Plaintiff Silverton Mortgage asks that the court deny the FDIC s motions as moot as Plaintiff has dismissed Defendant Silverton Bank, N.A. from its complaint. Neither Defendant Silverton Bank, N.A. nor the FDIC has filed an opposition to Plaintiff s request to deny the motions as moot. As Defendant Silverton Bank, N.A. is no longer a Defendant in this lawsuit, the court DENIES AS MOOT Defendant s motion to substitute party Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation as Receiver for Silverton Bank, N.A. [7] and DENIES AS MOOT Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation s motion to stay [8]. IT IS SO ORDERED this 1st day of December 2009. /s J. Owen Forrester J.
