Dalerpate,
You seem to have an earnest question, but the price of $ 2.00 suggests
that you are not really serious about it.   A researcher would expect
that anyone contemplating suing in a federal court would put a
significantly higher value on an answer, especially in consideration
that finding an answer (if possible!) would require some subtle search
techniques, and maybe a great amount of work only to be able to reply
that an answer cannot be found.

I was just trying to explain something to you.  Perhaps I should have
included a reference to the FAQs:
"How much should I pay for my question? What price should I set?
The more research required to find an answer, the higher the price you
should set for your question. Three-quarters of your question price
goes directly to the Researcher who answers your question; the other
25 percent goes to Google to support the service. Setting a price too
low to compensate for the time required may result in your question
not receiving an answer. The more you are willing to pay, the more
likely your question is to get answered quickly."

Researchers receive 75% of the price of a question.

When you post a question here, that is your risk.  I was trying to be helpful.

If you are suing as an individual, you can be pro se.  However, with
the corporate aspect, even as a successor, the laws will vary from
state to state.  Even though it is in federal court, the court would
use the procedural law of the state where the district court sits. 
Generally, a corporation can not be pro se.  As for a corporate
successor, it may be helpful to know which district court you would be
filing in.

Thanks for the Info, this confirms my research and belief;filing in
Florida/Middle District.

Do you have a case law that confirms corp. successor has a right to pursue?

I don't have anything specific, but I was seeing cases on findlaw from
Florida where successors in interest of a corporation were plaintiffs.
 I don't practice corporate law and I don't practice in Florida, so I
couldn't even give you a definitive answer.  I'm sorry.  You may want
to take a look at findlaw.com (which is free) to take a look at some
cases, or find an attorney to consult.  Some attorneys may be willing
to answer some questions without charge even without you retaining
them.  Another place you may be able to get some advice is a local bar
association.  They may have an attorney referral service that you can
consult to answer jurisdiction specific questions.  I know this isn't
exactly what you are looking for, but hopefully these are avenues you
can pursue if no one is able to answer your question.  Best of luck to
you.

I went back to try to find the cases, but I couldn't find them
quickly.  The search I ran was: plaintiff near successor and florida. 
I was running it from the legal professional page though, maybe that
is the difference.  Sorry I couldn't be more helpful.  The court's
website might have some more information, too.  You can get to that
from www.uscourts.gov I think.
