UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT
FOR THE SOUTHERN DISTRICT OF ILLINOIS
FRANCIS SCHAEFFER COX,
Plaintiff,
v.

Case No. 17-cv-338-JPG-DGW

WILLIAM TRUE, et al.,
Defendants.
MEMORANDUM AND ORDER
This matter comes before the Court on plaintiff Francis Schaeffer Cox’s motion to
substitute parties (Doc. 34). The defendants have not responded to the motion, which the Court
construes as an admission of the merits of the motion. The Court therefore GRANTS the motion
(Doc. 34) and DIRECTS the Clerk of Court to substitute:


Mark Inch, in his official capacity of Director of the Bureau of Prisons, in Count 1 for
defendant Thomas Kane, the former director, pursuant to Federal Rule of Civil Procedure
25(d). Kane is terminated as a defendant in this case;



Rhasaan Baskerville for defendant R. Baskerville;



Richard Blythe for R. Blythe;



Chad Krawcyzk for C. Krawczyk; and



Katerine Siereveld for Katherine Siereveld.

The last four corrections simply clarify the names of individuals named in Cox’s complaint and
do not require new service of process.
IT IS SO ORDERED.
DATED: April 2, 2018
