While plaintiff “does not question the correctness of

the change [in the caption name] by the court as it is undoubtedly
well founded[,]” plaintiff does ask that the Court “issue an order
that all future pleadings relevant to the instant action contain the
case name as captioned above [Enyart v. Franklin County], and for good
cause contained herein.”

After reviewing the original complaint, Doc. No. 2, this Court
agrees that Franklin County was the first defendant listed in that
filing.
WHEREUPON, plaintiff’s motion to correct the case name, Doc. No.
138, is GRANTED.

The Clerk is DIRECTED to change the case caption on

the docket to reflect the first defendant named in the original
complaint, Doc. No. 2, i.e., Franklin County.
