No. 2:16-cv-01121-MCE-CKD PS

ORDER

On January 8, 2020, plaintiff filed a response to defendants’ motion for summary 

judgment. (ECF No. 50.) The document was electronically filed using counsel Stratton Barbee’s 

CM/ECF user name and password. Stratton Barbee was terminated as plaintiff’s counsel of 

record on July 17, 2018. (See ECF Nos. 23, 24.) 

Attached to plaintiff’s response is a declaration of counsel Dennise Henderson in support 

of the response; she avers that she contacted defendants’ counsel on plaintiff’s behalf regarding 

the motion for summary judgment. (ECF No. 50.) Dennise Henderson was terminated as counsel 

of record on July 17, 2018. (ECF Nos. 23, 24.)

Despite having been relieved as counsel at their request one and a half years ago, Stratton 

Barbee and Dennise Henderson are acting on plaintiff’s behalf in a representative capacity. Both 

counsel must file a notice of representation if they intend to continue representing plaintiff. 

Otherwise, the court cautions them against acting on plaintiff’s behalf, including using their

Accordingly, IT IS HEREBY ORDERED that no later than January 17, 2020, Stratton
