Opinion

CIVIL ACTION NO. 08-760-JVP-SCR.

March 25, 2009

ORDER

JOHN PARKER, Senior District Judge

This matter is before the court on an unopposed motion by named defendant, "The Office of the Sheriff of East Baton Rouge Parish," to dismiss for lack of capacity to be sued (doc. 4). It is well established that the Sheriff's Office is not a legal entity; therefore, not only does it lack capacity to be sued, it also lacks capacity to file papers with the court.

Accordingly, it is hereby ORDERED that the presence of named defendant, "The Office of the Sheriff of East Baton Rouge Parish," shall be ignored.
