Filing 36
MINUTE entry before the Honorable Matthew F. Kennelly: Plaintiff Alloyed Enterprises Co. has moved to substitute a different party as the plaintiff and to file an amended complaint. It appears that Alloyed has transferred its claim(s) to a trust of which Glimp is the trustee. Plaintiff contends that under this arrangement Glimp would be able to act pro se in representing the trust. Plaintiff also intends to file an amended complaint. The Court expresses no opinion at this time regarding the propriety of the arrangement because it would be putting the cart before the horse. Because plaintiff is proposing to file an amended complaint it must provide the proposed amended complaint so that the Court can review it in connection with its review of the motion to substitute. Any such proposed amended complaint must be filed by no later than 10/19/2021 seeing as how plaintiff's current motions were filed very close to the deadline set by the Court (and extended twice) for the current plaintiff to file an appearance of counsel or face dismissal. The Court will address all of plaintiff's motions once the proposed amended complaint is filed. Mailed notice. (mma, )

Filing 29
MINUTE entry before the Honorable Matthew F. Kennelly: The motions by Thomas Glimp to intervene #24 #28 are denied because Mr. Glimp has not shown a viable basis to intervene in this case as an individual plaintiff given the nature of the claims. The motion for extension of time to find counsel #27 is granted. The due date for plaintiff Alloyed Enterprises to file an appearance by counsel who is a member of the bar of this District is extended to 9/24/2021. If no such appearance is filed by that date the Court will dismiss the complaint as an improperly filed pro se complaint. Mailed notice. (mma, )

Filing 22
MINUTE entry before the Honorable Matthew F. Kennelly: Alloyed Enterprises Co. has filed what purports to be a pro se complaint against Microsoft Corp; RCN Telecom Services LLC; Comcast Corp.; and the Department of Homeland Security. Alloyed Enterprises filed its complaint and a flurry of other documents under seal and also filed a motion asking for leave to file them under seal. The motion to file under seal 9 is denied; Alloyed Enterprises has identified no legitimate basis to have the entire case under seal. The Clerk is directed to unseal the case and all filings. Alloyed Enterprises has also filed motions asking the Court to appoint counsel to represent it; in the alternative to give its principal Thomas Glimp (who is not an attorney) to appear pro hac vice as the company's counsel; or in the alternative to allow the company to represent itself. These motions are all denied 10 11 #12 13 . An entity like Alloyed Enterprises may not represent itself but rather must appear through a licensed attorney. See United States v. Hagerman; 545 F.3d 579 at 581 (7th Cir. 2008). Mr. Glimp concedes he is not an attorney and thus he may not serve as Alloyed Enterprises' counsel. And Alloyed Enterprises has not shown that it qualifies for appointment of counsel financially or otherwise. The Court also notes in this regard that Alloyed Enterprises' complaint is almost certainly subject to dismissal as frivolous and for failure to comply with Fed. R. Civ. P. 8's requirement to provide a "short and plain statement" of the plaintiff's claim. The complaint is a sprawling 87-page document in which Alloyed Enterprises contends among other things that certain of the defendants have hacked into plaintiff's devices for a four-year period and have among other things "purposely misattributed speech comprising inchoate terrorist activities to Plaintiff's person with the intent to penalize Plaintiff by manipulating counter-terrorism and policing algorithms to create cause to commence intrusive digital and physical search and deprive Plaintiff of the beneficial use of private property while absconding from due process obligations." This like many of the complaint's allegations is (at least) borderline unintelligible and not explained in the body of the complaint. Unless plaintiff Alloyed Enterprises files an appearance by counsel who is a member of the bar of this District by no later than 9/10/2021 the Court will dismiss its complaint as an improperly filed pro se complaint. Mailed notice. (mma, )
