Plaintiff,

 v

JO ANNE B BARNHART,

Defendant

 /

No C 04-2838 VRW

 ORDER

The parties’cross-motions for summary judgment are

currently pending before the court. After review of the file, it

appears to the court that the plaintiff, Jakara Grayson, is a minor

child and that no guardian ad litem or next friend has been

appointed to sue on plaintiff’s behalf. 

Plaintiff’s complaint (Doc # 1), styled as a pro se

pleading, was signed by her grandmother, Willie Hamilton, as was her

application to proceed in forma pauperis (Doc # 3). Ms Hamilton

appears to have signed all court papers on behalf of plaintiff. 

Plaintiff later filed a substitution of attorney form indicating

that she has retained counsel to represent her. Doc # 15.
