ORDER

THIS MATTER comes before the Court on Defendants Carrie Benoit, Tim
Dearman, Jon LaFontaine’s Motion to Dismiss (“Individual Defendants”), (Doc. No.
8), alleging that Plaintiff’s claims against them should be dismissed because “there is
no individual liability under the sole cause of action alleged in Plaintiff’s Complaint—
violation of the Americans with Disabilities Act.” (Id. at 1). The Court has already
dismissed Individual Defendants from this case in its previous order, (Doc. No. 3 at
5) (“[I]ndividuals are not liable in an ADA action.) (citing Baird ex rel. Baird v. Rose,
192 F.3d 462 (4th Cir. 1999)). IT IS, THEREFORE, ORDERED that Defendants
Carrie Benoit, Tim Dearman, Jon LaFontaine’s Motion to Dismiss, (Doc. No. 8) is
DISMISSED as moot.
