Real Party in Interest Motion

The court addressed the meaning of “real party in interest,” as that phrase is used in Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 17(a). The court concluded that Rule 17(a) generally does not apply to defendants. The court also concluded that to the extent Rule 17(a) applies to defendants, it does not require the defendant’s indemnitor to be substituted for the defendant as the real party in interest.

Decision and Order

Section 1983 claim. Three of the four defendants in the case were entitled to summary judgment on the plaintiff’s claim that they acted with deliberate indifference to his serious medical needs when he threated self-harm. However, one defendant remains because the record did not establish a lack of objective harm. The lawyer would resolve the remaining claim.
