ORDER
This case is before the court on defendant's Motion to Dismiss Haskell Indian Nations University and Motion to Amend Caption (Doc. 11). The only proper defendant in a Federal Tort Claims Act case is the United States, not its agencies or employees. Denny v. United States Postal Serv., 916 F. Supp. 1081, 1083 (D. Kan. 1996). Plaintiff concedes that Haskell Indian Nations University is not a proper party to this action. The court therefore grants defendant's motion for the reasons stated in its motion. Haskell Indian Nations University is dismissed from the case, and the case caption will be amended to reflect the dismissal.
IT IS THEREFORE ORDERED that defendant's Motion to Dismiss Haskell Indian Nations University and Motion to Amend Caption (Doc. 11) is granted.
