  (2) Automatic Substitution of an Officeholder. When a public officer who is a party to an appeal or other proceeding in an official capacity dies, resigns, or otherwise ceases to hold office, the action does not abate. Subject to Rule 2012, the public officer’s successor is automatically substituted as a party. Proceedings after the substitution are to be in the name of the substituted party, but any misnomer that does not affect the parties’ substantial rights may be disregarded. An order of substitution may be entered at any time, but failure to enter an order does not affect the substitution.
