11 extension of time to file a Rule 33 motion, (3) motion for a new trial, and (4) motion for appointment

12 of counsel. See ECF Nos. 395, 396, 397, 398. A person who is represented by counsel “cannot while so

13 represented appear or act in the case.” Local Rule IA 11-6(a); United States v. Gallardo, 915 F. Supp. 216,

14 218 n.1 (D. Nev. 1995), aff’d 92 F.3d 1194 (9th Cir. 1996); see also Le v. Almager, 2013 WL 415632, at *1

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

16 represented by counsel.”). Dezfooli is represented by counsel, so his pro se filings [ECF Nos. 395,

17 396, 397, 398] are STRICKEN.
