ORDER GRANTING DEFENDANT RON TORRES' MOTION TO AMEND CASE CAPTION (Doc. 39)
THIS MATTER is before the Court on Defendant Ron Torres' Motion to Amend Case Caption (Doc. 39), filed June 4, 2010. The motion states that Plaintiff mistakenly spelled Defendant Torres' name incorrectly in his Complaint (Doc. 1-3) (spelling it as "Torrez" instead of "Torres"), and asks the Court to amend the caption of this case to reflect the correct spelling of his name and to order the parties to use the correct spelling in future submissions. Id. at 1-2. In the motion, Defendant Torres states that he has made numerous efforts to determine whether this motion is opposed, but the pro se Plaintiff has failed to respond to all of those efforts. Id. at 1. Having considered the motion and the record of this case, the Court FINDS that there is no need for Plaintiff's concurrence in this motion and, therefore, the motion is well-taken and should be GRANTED. IT IS THEREFORE ORDERED that the Clerk of the Court amend the caption of this case to reflect the proper spelling of Defendant Torres' name (which is "Torres," not "Torrez"). IT IS FURTHER ORDERED that the parties use the correct spelling of Defendant Torres' name in all future submissions.
IT IS SO ORDERED.
