ORDER
15-cv-49-jdp

Defendants.
On May 17, 2016, the court issued an order informing the parties that defendant
Charles Cole is deceased and explaining that if no party moves to substitute defendant Cole’s
estate by August 10, 2016, the court will dismiss plaintiff’s claim against him. Dkt. 16. On
July 8, 2016, I denied plaintiff’s attempt to replace defendant Cole with “the next complaint
examiner in Madison.” Dkt. 32. I warned plaintiff that if he did not move to substitute the
proper party—i.e., defendant Cole’s estate—as a defendant by August 10, 2016, I would
dismiss defendant Cole from the case.

August 10 has come and gone, and no one has moved to substitute defendant Cole’s
estate. Accordingly, IT IS HEREBY ORDERED that defendant Charles Cole is DISMISSED
from this case. The clerk’s office will update the caption accordingly.
Entered August 23, 2016.
