ORDER
Before the court is a Second Motion to Substitute Party [27], filed by counsel for Plaintiff
Cora Smith on behalf of Prentiss Smith, Plaintiff’s duly appointed conservator. The court has
thoroughly considered the motion which is supported by copies of an Order of the Chancery
Court of Carroll County and Letters of Conservatorship that show that Prentiss Smith was
appointed conservator for Plaintiff on April 3, 2018, because of Plaintiff’s mental and physical
infirmities. No objection to the instant motion having been filed, it is ORDERED that the same
is granted pursuant to FED.R.CIV. P. 25(b). Accordingly, the Clerk is directed to promptly
change the record to reflect that Prentiss Smith in his capacity as Conservator for Cora Smith is
substituted in the place of Cora Smith as the Plaintiff herein.
SO ORDERED this 19th day of April, 2018.
