IN THE UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT

FOR THE EASTERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA

SCOTT N. JOHNSON,

Plaintiff,

v. NO. CIV. S-05-2402 LKK GGH PS

PAUL JOHN FOLENA, et al.,

Defendants. ORDER TO SHOW CAUSE

___________________________________/

Defendants are proceeding in this action pro se. This proceeding was referred to

this court by Local Rule 72-302(21), pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 636(b)(1). It has come to this

court’s attention that an individual named Thomas Folena, presumably a relative of defendants,

has been signing and filing various documents in this case, including the answer, a status report,

and a stipulation to elect referral of the action to the voluntary dispute resolution program.

(Docket #s 12, 13, 15.) Thomas Folena is not attorney of record for defendants and is not a party

to the action. Defendants are advised that if Thomas Folena is a practicing attorney who is

representing them, he must be admitted to practice in this court and make an appropriate

appearance. See E.D. Local Rules 83-180, 83-182. Therefore, the documents signed and filed by

Thomas Folena have no legal significance in this case.

vacated.
