42 42 order Order on Motion for Joinder Thu 10/31 3:37 PM
ORDER denying36 Plaintiff's Motion for Joinder of Kansas Judicial Branch as Defendant. Even construing the motion liberally, Plaintiff's brief one-paragraph motion fails to meet the requirements of Fed. R. Civ. P. 19 or 20 for the mandatory or permissive joinder of a party. Plaintiff does not attempt to explain why joinder of the "Kansas Judicial Branch" is appropriate under the circumstances here. Plaintiff's lone vague and conclusory statement that joinder is "necessary in this case, and perhaps mandatory under FRCP sections" without any further support is not sufficient.36 Plaintiff's Motion for Joinder of Kansas Judicial Branch as Defendant is therefore denied. Signed by Magistrate Judge Teresa J. James on 10/31/2024. (This is a TEXT ENTRY ONLY. There is no.pdf document associated with this entry.) (hmg)
