_______________________________
ORDER
Pending before the Court is the Motion to Substitute [# 18]. Plaintiffs move
pursuant to Rule 19 of the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure to substitute Chief
Deputy Larry Bryson and Patrol Captain David Mitchell for the John Doe
Defendants. The Court DENIES without prejudice the motion [# 18] for failure
to comply with Local Rule 7.1. In addition, Rule 19 is not the proper mechanism
for substituting a party. Plaintiffs should either obtain the written consent of
Defendants to file a Second Amended Complaint naming the proper parties, or file
a motion with the Court seeking leave to amend.
