Prudential Insurance Company of America, Plaintiff, v. Dylan Houser, et al., Defendants.
ORDER
Honorable Krissa M. Lanham United States District Judge
Plaintiff Prudential Insurance Company states it “has limited information on the competence of Defendant Dylan Houser.” (Doc. 6 at 1.) Prudential plans to attempt service of process on Dylan by sending a process server to the State Hospital. (Doc. 6 at 2.) Without addressing whether that service will be proper, Prudential may attempt such service.
Prudential states it “named Joyce Houser as a defendant . . . in her sole capacity as guardian of minor J.D.” (Doc. 6 at 2.) Despite that, Prudential then states it has “named both Joyce Houser and J.D. as defendants.” (Doc. 6 at 2.) Given that she is not being named in any capacity other than as guardian of J.D., Joyce Houser will not be listed as a separate defendant.
Accordingly, IT IS ORDERED Prudential shall submit, and the Clerk of Court shall issue, new summons in the names of 1) Dylan Houser; and 2) Joyce Houser, solely in her capacity as guardian of J.D.
