Plaintiff,

v.

OFFICER B. LINDSEY,

Defendant.

__________________________________ /

Case No. 1:16-cv-00343-BAM (PC)

ORDER STRIKING MOTION FOR 

RECONSIDERATION

(ECF No. 17)

On March 16, 2017, Plaintiff Salvador Cervantes personally filed a motion for 

reconsideration of the Court’s order dismissing this action with prejudice and closing the case. 

(ECF No. 17.) Plaintiff was represented by counsel during the course of this action, and there is 

no indication that Plaintiff is no longer represented by counsel. However, the motion for 

reconsideration was not signed or submitted for filing by Plaintiff’s counsel. 

Filings must include the signature of at least one attorney of record when a party is 

represented. Fed. R. Civ. P. 11(a). See also Local Rule 131(b) (“All pleadings and non-evidentiary 

documents shall be signed by the individual attorney for the party presenting them . . . .”)

Accordingly, the motion for reconsideration filed on March 16, 2017 (ECF No. 17) is 

HEREBY ORDERED STRICKEN from the record, which renders it a nullity. 

IT IS SO ORDERED.
