ORDER

THIS MATTER is before the Court on an initial review of Plaintiff’s pro se complaint
and his motion to proceed in forma pauperis.
Plaintiff Haines filed this complaint and he contends that he is bringing this action in his
capacity as the Executor of the Mama Wancha Trust in an effort to quiet title to real property
located in Mecklenburg County, North Carolina. Plaintiff does not identify himself as a licensed
attorney and there is no record of Plaintiff on the website of the North Carolina State Bar.
North Carolina law provides, in relevant part, that no person shall represent the interests
of another in a judicial proceeding “except active members of the Bar of the State of North
Carolina . . .” See N.C. Gen. Stat. § 84-4 (1995). Plaintiff will be provided 10-days from entry of
this Order to provide proof to the Clerk’s Office that he is licensed to practice law in North
Carolina and failure to provide the necessary proof will result in dismissal of this action and

without further notice.
SO ORDERED.
