Opinion for the Court filed by Circuit Judge WALD.
WALD, Circuit Judge:
This case presents the question whether a claim brought under the Freedom of Information Act ("FOIA"), 5 U.S.C. § 552, can ever survive the death of the original requestor. We hold that it may, but remand the case to the district court to determine whether the deceased requestor's son is the proper party for substitution within the meaning of Fed.R.Civ.P. 25(a).
