Filing 3
ORDER: This matter is before the Court sua sponte. On August 17, 2023, Plaintiff Samuel Lawrence executed a pro se civil rights complaint pursuant to 42 U.S.C. 1983, in which he complained about the conditions of his confinement at the Fulton County Jail. (Doc. #1 ). The complaint was docketed on August 25, 2023. The Court has learned through news reports that, the following day, Plaintiff was found unresponsive in his cell at the Jail and was later declared deceased. As of the date of this Order, the cause of Plaintiff's death is reportedly unknown. Out of an abundance of caution, the Clerk is DIRECTED to send a copy of this Order to Fulton County Sheriff Patrick Labat at the Fulton County Sheriffs Office, 185 Central Ave SW, Atlanta, Georgia, 30303, and to send copies of the same to the Office of the Fulton County Attorney, 141 Pryor Street SW #4308, Atlanta, Georgia, 30303. Sheriff Labat is DIRECTED to notify the Court within THIRTY DAYS from the date of this Order whether he is in possession of information regarding any representative of Plaintiff to whom a notice of suggestion of death should be sent. If Sheriff Labat has any such information, he is FURTHER DIRECTED to send a notice of suggestion of death to that party and to provide the Court with a copy of that notice. Sheriff Labat also is DIRECTED to notify the Court if he does not possess that information. The Clerk is FURTHER DIRECTED to resubmit this action to me upon Sheriff Labat's response or the expiration of the aforementioned time period. See document for further specifics. Signed by Magistrate Judge John K. Larkins, III on 8/31/2023. (tmf)
