Case No. 2:11-cv-00492-GWF
ORDER

This matter is before the Court on Victoria L. Nelson’s Chapter 7 Trustee in Bankruptcy’s

13

Motion to Substitute as Party Plaintiff (ECF No 416), filed on January 30, 2017. To date, no party

14

has filed an opposition to this motion and the time for opposition has now expired.

15

Ms. Nelson requests to be substituted as the party plaintiff for Steven Liguori pursuant to

16

Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 25 and Federal Rule of Bankruptcy Procedure 7017. On April 19,

17

2016, Plaintiff filed a Petition under Chapter 13 of the U.S. Bankruptcy Code that was subsequently

18

converted to a Chapter 7. As a result, Ms. Nelson asserts that Plaintiff was divested of any right to

19

pursue any pre-litigation claims and that those rights are now held by Ms. Nelson as the bankruptcy

20

trustee. The Court agrees. Accordingly,
