Opinion

IN THE UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT FOR THE SOUTHERN DISTRICT OF OHIO WESTERN DIVISION RAMON BOYCE, et al, . Plaintiffs, Vv. Case No. 3:19-cv-181 CITY HALL FOR SPRINGFIELD, JUDGE WALTER H. RICE OHIO, et a/., Defendants.

ORDER GRANTING PLAINTIFFS ALYSHIA COOK, SHAQUEETA TERRELL AND QUIANA BOYCE FOURTEEN CALENDAR DAYS TO FILE OBJECTIONS TO MAGISTRATE JUDGE NEWMAN’S SEPTEMBER 11, 2019, REPORT AND RECOMMENDATIONS (DOC. #12)

On September 11, 2019, on initial review, United States Magistrate Judge Michael J. Newman issued a Report and Recommendations concerning the Complaint filed by pro se Plaintiffs Ramon Boyce, Alyshia Cook, Shaqueeta Terrell and Quiana Boyce. Doc. #12. Only Plaintiff Ramon Boyce filed Objections to the Report and Recommendations. Doc. #13. Those Objections were purportedly filed on behalf of all four Plaintiffs. Nevertheless, because Ramon Boyce is not a licensed attorney, he is not authorized to represent the legal interests of other individuals. Accordingly, in the interest of fairness, Plaintiffs Alyshia Cook, Shaqueeta Terrell and Quiana Boyce are each given an additional fourteen calendar days from

from the date of this Order to file their own, individual Objections to the Report and Recommendations.' They may seek an extension by filing a motion for an extension of that deadline, which the Court may grant upon a showing of good cause. Any Objections shall specify the portions of the Report and Recommendations objected to, and shall be accompanied by a memorandum of law in support of the Objections. Failure to make Objections in accordance with this procedure may forfeit rights on appeal. Thomas v. Arn, 474 U.S. 140, 153-55 (1985).
