ORDER OF DISMISSAL
HORNBY, District Judge.
William Fellows challenges the constitutionality of Maine’s temporary guardianship statute. To do so, he has sued State Probate Judge Laurier T. Raymond, Jr. to enjoin him from applying the statute. On November 15, 1993, I directed the plaintiff to show cause why his claim should not be dismissed in light of In re Justices of the Supreme Court of Puerto Rico, 695 F.2d 17 (1st Cir.1982). I now conclude that I must dismiss the case without reaching the merits of the claim because Judge Raymond, the sole defendant, is not a proper party.
