On March 3, 2005, the Court issued an Order forbidding

Plaintiff from engaging in hybrid representation since permitting this

type of representation is a discretionary decision. See 28 U.S.C. §

1654 (stating that “[i]n all courts of the United States the parties

may plead and conduct their own cases personally or by counsel as, by

the rules of such courts, respectively, are permitted to manage and

conduct causes therein.”). On April 16, 2007, Defendants filed a

motion to enforce the parties’ settlement agreement. Plaintiff’s

attorneys have not filed an opposition. Accordingly, given
