Date Filed Document Text
June 20, 2014 Opinion or Order Filing 2 ORDER - It appears to the Court that Pinson, pro se, may have filed this petition on behalf of Castro. In fact, the Court is unable to determine whether Castro is even aware of this petition. Be that as it may, a non-attorney cannot represent someone else pro se. New York ex rel. Fox v. Fed. Bureau of Prisons, 08-CV-4816 (SLT), 2008 WL 5191843, at *1 (E.D.N.Y. Dec. 5, 2008) (quoting United States v. Robinson, No. SA-06-MC-781-XR, 2007 WL 649010, at *3 (W.D.Tex. Mar.1, 2007)); see also Powerserve Intl, Inc. v. Lavi, 239 F.3d 508, 514 (2d Cir. 2001) ([A]n individual may not be represented in court by another person who is not an attorney.). Thus, for this reason, the Court dismisses the petition and directs the Clerk of the Court to close this case. So Ordered by Judge Arthur D. Spatt on 6/20/2014. (Coleman, Laurie)
