Opinion

ELECTRONICALLY FILED DOC #: DATE FILED: 9/17/20 UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT SOUTHERN DISTRICT OF NEW YORK

Modesta R. Sabeniano, Plaintiff, 16-cv-1723 (AJN) —V— ORDER Citibank, N.A., New York, et al., Defendants.

ALISON J. NATHAN, District Judge: On September 14, 2020, the pro se Plaintiffs son in this matter attempted to file a Notice of Appeal on behalf of the pro se Plaintiff. See Dkt. No. 82. On September 16, 2020, the Notice of Appeal was re-docketed as a Motion for Permission to Appeal due to the fact that the document was signed by the Plaintiff’s son and not by the pro se Plaintiff herself. Dkt. No. 83. individual may not be represented in court by another person who is not an attorney.” Powerserve International, Inc. v. Lavi, 239 F.3d 508, 514 (2d Cir. 2001) (citing 28 U.S.C. § 1654, which provides that an individual may conduct his “own case personally or by counsel”). See also Iannaccone v. Law,142 F.3d 553, 558 (2d Cir. 1998) (“[B]ecause pro se means to appear for one’s self, a person may not appear on another person’s behalf in the other’s cause.”). Neither the District Court nor the Court of Appeals may accept a Notice of Appeal signed by the Plaintiffs son on her behalf. As a result, to the extent that Dkt. No. 83 is properly construed as a motion to have the letter signed by the Plaintiff's son deemed an effective Notice of Appeal signed by the Plaintiff herself, that motion is DENIED.

Under Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 4(a)(1)(A), a notice of appeal must be filed with the district clerk within 30 days after entry of the order appealed from. Fed. R. Civ. P. 4(a)(1)(A). Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 4(a)(5), however, allows the district court to extend a party’s time to file a notice of appeal. Accordingly, the Plaintiff may re-submit a corrected Notice of Appeal, signed by the Plaintiff herself, for the Court’s consideration. This resolves Dkt. No. 83. SO ORDERED. Dated: September 17, 2020 New York, New York . ~ fs Les his ALISON J. NATHAN United States District Judge
