W.R.A.P. 17.03
Public Officers; Death or Separation from Office
(a) When a public officer is a party to an appeal or other proceeding in the
appellate court in an official capacity and during its pendency dies, resigns or
otherwise ceases to hold office, the action does not abate and the successor is
automatically substituted as a party. Proceedings following the substitution
shall be in the name of the substituted party, but any misnomer not affecting
the substantial rights of the parties shall be disregarded. An order of
substitution may be entered at any time, but the omission to enter such an
order shall not affect the substitution.
(b) When a public officer is a party to an appeal or other proceeding in an
official capacity the public officer may be described as a party by the official
title rather than by name; but the court may require the name to be added.

Unofficial copy of government-published law, reproduced from official sources with full provenance. Not an official publication; verify against official sources before relying on it in a filing. Records in the 'guidance' corpus, and only that corpus, are sub-regulatory (interpretive guidelines, survey procedures) and are not binding law. Validity bounds follow each jurisdiction's declared temporalBasis.
