Plaintiff Thomas Carnes seeks the appointment of his daughter, Juliana Christine Clegg, as

14

guardian ad litem. Carnes, who is 83 years old, suffers from dementia, limiting his ability to

15

actively participate in this suit. Clegg Decl. ¶¶ 3–5. It therefore appears to the Court that

16

appointment of a guardian ad litem is appropriate and necessary to protect Carnes' interests in this

17

litigation. See Fed. R. Civ. P. 17(c). Accordingly, Carnes' unopposed motion to appoint Ms.

18

Clegg as his guardian ad litem is granted.
