April 17, 2024 Filing 18 ORDER This matter is before the Court upon review of #17 Motion for Extension of Time to Answer or Otherwise Respond, filed by Defendant Lindsey Cardiff. The Motion seeks an extension of time to answer Plaintiffs' Complaint. The Court finds good cause to extend the deadline for Defendants Cardiff, Conway, and Tripolar LLC to answer Plaintiffs' Complaint. Defendant Cardiff notes that the the Defendants are attempting to retain counsel, and the requested extension is not lengthy. In addition, it appears that Defendant Jensen has not yet been served, so this extension will not significantly delay proceedings. [See #14 at 2]. Accordingly, the deadline for Defendants Cardiff, Conway, and Tripolar LLC to answer or otherwise respond to Plaintiffs' Complaint is EXTENDED to 4/30/2024. The Court does note multiple concerns with Defendant Cardiff's filing. First, it contains no certificate of conferral, as required by D.C.COLO.LCivR 7.1. It further appears to be filed on behalf of all Defendants. There is no representation that Defendant Cardiff is an attorney, and "[n]on-attorney pro se litigants cannot represent other pro se parties." Perry v. Stout, 20 F. App'x 780, 782 (10th Cir. 2001). In addition, Defendant Tripolar LLC, an entity, may not proceed pro se but may only appear in court through an attorney. See D.C.COLO.LAttyR 5(b); Harrison v. Wahatoyas, L.L.C., 253 F.3d 552, 556 (10th Cir. 2001) ("[A] corporation or other business entity can only appear in court through an attorney and not through a non-attorney corporate officer appearing pro se."). The Court notes that any pro se filings made on behalf of the non-filing party or on behalf of an entity, and filings that fail to comply with the conferral requirements of Local Rule 7.1, may be stricken. SO ORDERED, by Magistrate Judge Scott T. Varholak on 4/17/2024. Text Only Entry(stvlc4, )
