Judge Robert E. Blackburn
ORDER
Blackburn, J.
The matter before me is the Stipulated Motion To Voluntarily Dismiss the City of Lakewood and Amend The Case Caption [#15] filed October 26, 2012. After reviewing the motion and the record, I conclude that the motion should be granted and that plaintiff's claims defendant Ryan O'Hayre, in his official capacity, should be dismissed without prejudice.
"[#15]" is an example of the convention I use to identify the docket number assigned to a specific paper by the court's electronic case filing and management system (CM/ECF). I use this convention throughout this order.
THEREFORE, IT IS ORDERED as follows:
1. That the Stipulated Motion To Voluntarily Dismiss the City of Lakewood and Amend The Case Caption [#15] filed October 26, 2012, is GRANTED;
2. That plaintiff's claims against defendant Ryan O'Hayre, in his official capacity, are DISMISSED WITHOUT PREJUDICE;
3. That the caption is AMENDED to name the defendant as "Ryan O'Hayre, in his individual capacity;" and
4. That Defendant Ryan O'Hayre's Partial Motion To Dismiss Plaintiff's Complaint (ECF No. 1) Pursuant to FED. R. CIV. P. 12(b)(6) [#13] filed October 9, 2012, is DENIED as moot.
Dated October 29, 2012, at Denver, Colorado.
BY THE COURT:
