MEMORANDUM AND ORDER: IT IS THEREFORE ORDERED BY THE COURT THAT all requests made by Dwight Johnson and Irma Dorsey are denied. Signed by District Judge Daniel D. Crabtree on 07/23/2019. Mailed to movants Irma Dorsey and Dwight Johnson by regular mail. (Attachments: # 1 Exhibit 1)(tvn)

IN THE UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT
FOR THE DISTRICT OF KANSAS
KENDRA ROSS,
Plaintiff,
v.

Case No. 17-2547-DDC-TJJ

ROYALL JENKINS, et al.,
Defendants.

MEMORANDUM AND ORDER
The court has received an unusual collection of materials along with a purported filing
containing the case caption for this case and the caption of a related consolidated case, Ross v.
The Promise Keepers, Inc., No. 2:19-cv-02091-DDC-TJJ (D. Kan. Feb. 15, 2019). The
captioned material, consisting of three pages, arrived via an overnight delivery service and is
titled: “NOTICE OF NEW INFORMATION TO BE PLACED BEFORE THIS DISTRICT
COURT AND RULE 67 Deposit into Court.” It also contains the following title: “DEMAND
FOR IN CAMERA HEARING.” Two persons, asserting that they are acting “On Behalf of
Royall Jenkins” have signed the third page of the purported filing. They are identified as
“Dwight Johnson, Power of Attorney” and “Irma, ‘last name dorsey’ – Receiver.” Both
signatures bear the date of July 4, 2019.
The package also contained other materials. One document purportedly was signed by
“Michael R Pompeo, Secretary of State” and the “Assistant Authentication Officer” for the
United States Department of State, along with a purported South Carolina birth certificate for
defendant Royall Jenkins. The package also included documents purporting to be medical and
legal documents about Mr. Jenkins. The case-captioned document asks the court to “have this
new information placed into evidence and have [certain] Bank of America bank records

submitted.” Also, it asks the court “to remove all warrants upon receiving the attached medical
records.” The court has attached the three-page captioned document as Exhibit 1 to this Order.

To the extent that Mr. Johnson and Ms. Dorsey purport to seek relief on Mr. Jenkins’s

behalf, the court denies their request. They are not members of the bar of this court and thus
cannot act on Mr. Jenkins’s behalf. See Perry v. Stout, No. 00-2411, 2001 WL 1158997, at *1
(10th Cir. Sept. 28, 2001) (citing 28 U.S.C. § 1654 (“parties may plead and conduct their own
cases personally or by counsel”)) (“Non-attorney pro se litigants cannot represent other pro se
parties.”). And, even if the movants were members of the bar, the court would grant no relief
because none is warranted by their submission.
IT IS THEREFORE ORDERED BY THE COURT THAT all requests made by Mr.
Johnson and Ms. Dorsey are denied. The Clerk of the Court is directed to file the three-page
captioned document the movants submitted as Exhibit 1 to this Order. The Clerk of the Court
also is directed to mail copies of this Order to movants Irma Dorsey at 3428 Ravenwood
Avenue, Baltimore, MD, 21213, and Dwight Johnson at 4624 Henderson Road, Temple Hills,
MD, 20748.
IT IS SO ORDERED.
Dated this 23rd day of July, 2019, at Kansas City, Kansas.
