ORDER

Defendants.

Plaintiff Prudential Insurance Company states it “has limited information on the

16

competence of Defendant Dylan Houser.” (Doc. 6 at 1.) Prudential plans to attempt service

17

of process on Dylan by sending a process server to the State Hospital. (Doc. 6 at 2.) Without

18

addressing whether that service will be proper, Prudential may attempt such service.

19

Prudential states it “named Joyce Houser as a defendant . . . in her sole capacity as

20

guardian of minor J.D.” (Doc. 6 at 2.) Despite that, Prudential then states it has “named

21

both Joyce Houser and J.D. as defendants.” (Doc. 6 at 2.) Given that she is not being named

22

in any capacity other than as guardian of J.D., Joyce Houser will not be listed as a separate

23

defendant.
