FRESNO COUNTY SHERIFF, et al.,

Defendants.

Case No. 1:14-cv-00129-AWI-SAB

ORDER DISREGARDING POWER OF 

ATTORNEY

(ECF No. 74)

This action was filed on January 29, 2014, by Plaintiff Perry Washington and his sister, 

Anthonia Washington. Throughout the pendency of this action, Plaintiff’s sister has been 

advised that she may not represent Plaintiff Perry Washington in this action. On July 20, 2015,

for Plaintiff Perry Washington. As Plaintiff has been advised on numerous occasions, a nonlawyer may not represent anyone but himself or herself in court. Johns v. County of San Diego, 

114 F.3d 874, 877 (9th Cir. 1997); C. E. Pope Equity Trust v. United States, 818 F.2d 696, 697 

(9th Cir. 1987). Ms. Washington may not act as Plaintiff’s attorney-in-fact in this action and the 

notice of power of attorney filed July 20, 2015, is HEREBY DISREGARDED.

IT IS SO ORDERED.

Dated: July 22, 2015
