Order Striking Motions, Briefings, and Notice Filed by Defendant — United States v. Dezfooli (Document 352)

Summary

This order strikes the filings that defendant Meelad Dezfooli made pro se, including a motion for leave to file an omnibus motion and several "Motions/Briefs." It states that a person represented by counsel "cannot while so represented appear or act in the case," and that Dezfooli is represented by counsel, so his pro se filings are stricken. Because those filings are stricken, the government's motion to strike the documents (ECF No. 350) is denied as moot. The order is dated April 30, 2025, over the name of Cristina D. Silva, United States District Judge.

 7 Melaad Dezfooli,
                                                                [ECF Nos. 341, 342, 343, 344, 345, 346,
 8                       Defendant                                         348, 350, 351]

10            Defendant Meelad Dezfooli has filed a motion for leave to file an omnibus motion, as well

11 as several “Motions/Briefs.” See ECF Nos. 341, 342, 343, 344, 345, 346, 348, 351. A person who is

12 represented by counsel “cannot while so represented appear or act in the case.” Local Rule IA 11-

13 6(a); United States v. Gallardo, 915 F. Supp. 216, 218 n.1 (D. Nev. 1995), aff’d 92 F.3d 1194 (9th Cir. 1996);

14 see also Le v. Almager, 2013 WL 415632, at *1 (N.D. Cal. Jan. 31, 2013) (“A court need not consider pro

15 se motions filed by a party who remains represented by counsel.”). Dezfooli is represented by

16 counsel, so his pro se filings [ECF Nos. 341, 342, 343, 344, 345, 346, 348, 351] are STRICKEN.

17 Because those filings are stricken, the government’s motion to strike the documents [ECF No. 350]

18 is denied as moot.
