ORDER
THIS MATTER is before the Court on the Plaintiff Elizabeth M.T.
O’Nan’s motion for extension of time to file a reply brief in support of her
motion to remand [Doc. 39], as amended [Doc. 46]. The Plaintiff initially
requested a thirty-day extension [Doc. 39 at 1] but in her amended motion
states that a seven-day extension of time is “acceptable” [Doc. 46 at 1].
For the reasons stated in the Plaintiff’s motion, the Court will allow a
brief extension of time, making the Plaintiff’s reply brief due on March 6,
2017.
The Court notes that the Motion to Remand was signed by the Plaintiff
Elizabeth M.T. O’Nan only. The other plaintiff in this action, Elizabeth M.S.
O’Nan, is not a party to the motion. In her motion for an extension of time,
however, Elizabeth M.T. O’Nan seeks an extension of time for the “Plaintiffs”
to file a response. As a pro se litigant, Elizabeth M.T. O’Nan cannot file
pleadings on behalf of any other pro se litigant. If Elizabeth M.S. O’Nan
wishes to seek any relief through the filing of a motion, she must also sign
the pleading.
IT IS, THEREFORE, ORDERED that the Plaintiff Elizabeth M.T.
O’Nan’s motion for extension of time to file a reply brief in support of her
motion to remand [Doc. 39], as amended [Doc. 46] is GRANTED, and the
Plaintiff shall have through and including March 6, 2017, within which to file
a reply in support of her motion to remand.
IT IS FURTHER ORDERED that the pro se Plaintiffs in this action may
not file pleadings on each other’s behalf. If both pro se Plaintiffs wish to seek
any relief through the filing of a motion, both Plaintiffs must sign the pleading.
Any further pleadings that are not in compliance with this requirement may
be stricken from the record.
Signed: February 28, 2017
IT IS SO ORDERED.
