This matter comes before the Court on the United States’ Motion for Reconsideration (#39)

14

on the Court’s Order (#37) granting Defendants Wayne Reeves and Diane Vaoga’s (“Defendants”)

15

Motion (#36) for Permission to File Electronically, filed on May 21, 2013. The Government does

16

not oppose Defendants’ ability to file electronically, but notes that Defendant Reeves signed the

17

Motion (#36) on behalf of himself and Defendant Vaoga. “While a non-attorney may appear pro se

18

on his own behalf, he has no authority to appear as an attorney for others than himself.” C.E. Pope

20

Defendant Reeves does not have the authority to sign pleadings on Defendant Vaoga’s behalf, and

21

the Court cautions Defendant Reeves that he may not sign further pleadings on behalf of any party

22

other than himself. To the extent that Defendants are acting pro se, each must submit and sign his

23

or her own pleadings. Accordingly,
