10            Defendant Meelad Dezfooli filed a motion for leave to file omnibus motions. ECF No.

11 376. In addition to the motion, a notice was filed on Dezfooli’s behalf indicating that Dezfooli will

12 move to substitute a signed version of his motions in the future. However, a person who is

13 represented by counsel “cannot while so represented appear or act in the case.” LR IA 11-6(a);

14 United States v. Gallardo, 915 F. Supp. 216, 218 n.1 (D. Nev. 1995); see also Le v. Almager, 2013 WL

15 415632, at *1 (N.D. Cal. Jan. 31, 2013) (“A court need not consider pro se motions filed by a party

16 who remains represented by counsel.”). Because Dezfooli is represented by counsel, the pro se

17 motion and notice are stricken.

18                                                 Conclusion

19            IT IS HEREBY ORDERED that the notice [ECF No. 375] and motion for leave [ECF

20 No. 376] are STRICKEN.
