ORDER1
This matter comes before the Court on Plaintiffs N.A. and T.J.H.’s Unopposed
Amended Motion to Substitute Parties. (Doc. 109). They seek leave to proceed in their
own names as party Plaintiffs, rather than through their parents, now that they have
reached the age of majority. Upon review of the applicable law and rules, and because
Defendants do not oppose the relief requested, the Court grants the motion to substitute
parties.
