15 The Court is in receipt of non-party Roy Dawson’s “Response to Court Summons” 16 (Doc. 24). Mr. Dawson is neither a party nor counsel or next friend to a party in this case 17 and therefore cannot properly file documents in this matter. See Gomez v. J. MacDonald, 18 No. ED CV 13-01367-VBF-SH, 2014 WL 4059938, at *6 (C.D. Cal. Aug. 14, 2014) 19 (collecting cases). Although Mr. Dawson’s letter states that he wrote the letter “in response 20 to the court summons,” (Doc. 23 at 2), it does not appear that Mr. Dawson is an attorney, 21 and he therefore cannot represent Defendants or file documents on their behalf. See Fed. 22 R. Civ. P. 11(a); Ariz. Sup. Ct. R. 31.2.1 Thus, Mr. Dawson’s filing is improper and will 23 be stricken. 24 IT IS SO ORDERED that the Letter re: temu.markets by Non-Party Roy Dawson 25 (Doc. 24) is stricken. 26
