IN THE UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT

FOR THE NORTHERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA

JULIA POWELL KELLER-McINTYRE,

Plaintiff,

 v.

COLLEGE OF HEALTH AND HUMAN

SERVICES, SAN FRANCISCO STATE

UNIVERSITY,

Defendants

 /

No. C-06-3209 MMC

ORDER STRIKING NOTICE OF

APPEARANCE OF COUNSEL

On March 16, 2007, plaintiff filed a “Notice of Appearance of Counsel,” signed by C.

Reynolds Keller and stating said attorney “is entering this matter with Julia Keller-McIntyre

in Propria Persona as co-counsel of record.”

The Court is unaware of any authority providing for “co-counsel” of the abovedescribed nature. Cf. Kay v. Ehrler, 499 U.S. 432 (1991) (holding “a pro se litigant . . . is

not entitled to attorney’s fees”; observing “the word ‘attorney’ assumes an agency

relationship”) (emphasis omitted).

Accordingly, the Notice of Appearance is hereby STRICKEN, without prejudice to

said counsel’s filing a general appearance as sole counsel of record. 

If said counsel does make such an appearance, it will be his responsibility to file and

receive all documents on plaintiff’s behalf and to conduct all proceedings on the record in

court. Plaintiff, of course, will have the right to review all such documents, to be present at

than as a witness.

IT IS SO ORDERED.
