Plaintiff Dominion Carolina Gas Transmission, LLC (“DCGT”) moved to dismiss
Defendants Etta N. Mann, John L. Richardson, Sr., South Carolina Department of Revenue,
RMC Financial Services, Pioneer Credit Co, Palmetto Health Alliance dba Palmetto Richland
Memorial, and South Carolina Federal Credit Union (collectively “Defendants”) as unnecessarily
joined parties because DCGT has discovered either that these defendants have died or,
alternatively, that they have no interest by virtue of judgment in the property that is the subject of
this condemnation action. (ECF No. 63.) After considering the motion, the court GRANTS
DCGT’s motion pursuant to Rule 71.1(i)(2) of the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure and
dismisses Defendants from the above-captioned action.
DCGT has also asked that the caption be amended to reflect the dismissal of certain
defendants and to clarify the names of others. (ECF No. 63 at 2.) This request is hereby granted
and the caption shall be in the form reflected above.
IT IS SO ORDERED.
