United States District Court

Northern District of California

UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT

NORTHERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA

AMY SOLAR-DOHERTY, et al.,

Plaintiffs,

v.

CHRISTOPHER FOOTT, et al.,

Defendants.

Case No. 15-cv-01395-MEJ 

ORDER RE: DOCUMENTS 

SUBMITTED BY ZENYA V. LEARY

Pending before the Court is Defendant Christopher Foott’s Motion to Dismiss. Dkt. No. 8. 

On June 5, 2015, Zenya V. Leary, who claims to be “Pro Se Counsel” for Plaintiffs Amy SolarDoherty and Andrew Greco, filed a response that includes this statement: “Thus, counsel for 

Plaintiff(s) is submitting Plaintiff(s)’ correspondence withdrawing Plaintiff(s)’s complaint without 

prejudice.” Dkt. No. 14 at 2. As Leary did not provide a California Bar number and there is no 

record of her admittance to practice in the Northern District of California, the Court informed 

Plaintiffs that it would not accept the response. Dkt. No. 15. If it is Plaintiffs’ intent to dismiss 

this case, the Court directed them to file a dismissal by June 23, 2015, signed by both Amy SolarDoherty and Andrew Greco. Id. 

The Court has now received additional documents from Zenya Leary, including Plaintiffs’

purported consent to magistrate judge jurisdiction, which is signed by Leary and not Plaintiffs, and 

a Complaint with a caption from the Southern District of New York, which is unsigned. These 

documents are being returned to Zenya Leary without filing. Plaintiffs are reminded that all 

documents must be signed by them or by counsel that is admitted to practice in the Northern 

District of California. 

IT IS SO ORDERED.

Dated: June 22, 2015
