ORDER
ELIZABETH S. ("BETSY") CHESTNEY) UNITED STATES MAGISTRATE JUDGE
Before the Court in the above-styled cause of action is Bexar County Hospital District d/b/a University Health f/k/a University Health System's Motion to be Excused from Status Conference [#37]. Defendant asks the Court to excuse it from attending the status conference set for October 19, 2022. The Court will grant the motion.
The record reflects that on November 12, 2021, the District Court granted Defendant's motion to dismiss and dismissed all of Plaintiffs' claims against Bexar County Hospital District d/b/a University Health f/k/a University Health System, which operates University Hospital. Bexar County Hospital District was terminated as a Defendant but separately named Defendant University Hospital was not. The Court will now direct the Clerk to terminate this party.
IT IS THEREFORE ORDERED that Bexar County Hospital District d/b/a University Health f/k/a University Health System's Motion to be Excused from Status Conference [#37] is GRANTED. If a party is terminated before a final judgment is entered in a case, that party is excused from attending hearings that are set for after the termination, but may attend them.
IT IS FURTHER ORDERED that the Clerk TERMINATE University Hospital as a Defendant.
