KIMURA, et al., Defendants. / Plaintiff is a state prisoner proceeding without counsel with a civil rights action pursuant to 42 U.S.C. § 1983. By order filed December 20, 2010, the United States Marshal was directed to serve process on defendants in this action, including defendant Dr. Evans. On February 16, 2011, the United States Marshal returned service unexecuted. On March 4, 2011, plaintiff filed a notice that defense counsel informed plaintiff that Dr. Evans is deceased. In light of the suggestion of Dr. Evans' death upon the record, the Clerk of the Court is directed to serve a copy of the USM-285 form returned by the Marshal on plaintiff together with a copy of this order. Service of such form invokes the ninety day time limit for filing a motion for substitution pursuant to Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 25(a)(1).
