ORDER
From the second amended complaint (doc. no. 62), it
is

unclear

whether

Alabama

State

University

or

the

Board of Trustees of Alabama State University or both
are defendants.

The amended complaint lists only the

Board of Trustees in the style while ¶¶ 1 and 12 list
only ASU as the defendant.

To resolve this ambiguity,

it is ORDERED that both Alabama State University and
the Board of Trustees of Alabama State University are
defendants in this case.

If plaintiffs intended for

only one of these to be a defendant, the plaintiffs

are, within seven days, to file a motion to dismiss the
defendant that they did not intend to include.
DONE, this the 23rd day of April, 2015.
