ROY PERCY, UNITED STATES MAGISTRATE JUDGE

ORDER SUBSTITUTING PARTY

ROY PERCY, UNITED STATES MAGISTRATE JUDGE

This matter is before the court on the parties' joint ore tenus motion to substitute Unum Life Insurance Company of America for the defendant incorrectly named in the complaint as Unum Group. The court finds the request is well taken and should be GRANTED. Unum Life Insurance Company of America is substituted as the defendant in place of Unum Group. The Clerk of Court is directed to change the style on the docket to reflect the new, properly designated defendant, and the parties are directed to observe this change in future filings. The answer filed on behalf of Unum Group shall serve as the answer of Unum Life Insurance Company of America.

SO ORDERED.
