RICHARD SOLOMONS, et al.,

Defendant(s). This is one of 140 cases initiated by Hank Falstad, who identifies himself as an ADA architect.1 For the reasons discussed below, the case has not been filed properly. First, Mr. Falstad is not permitted to represent Plaintiff(s) in federal court. “In all courts of the United States the parties may plead and conduct their own cases personally or by counsel as, by the rules of such courts, respectively, are permitted to manage and conduct causes therein.” See 28 U.S.C. § 1654 (emphasis added). Hence, it is well established that non-attorneys are not permitted to represent parties in federal court. See Simon v. Hartford Life, Inc., 546 F.3d 661, 664- 65 (9th Cir. 2008) (collecting cases regarding prohibition of non-lawyers representing others); N.R.S. 7.285 (addressing the unauthorized practice of law in Nevada). Mr. Falstad’s filing on behalf of others is improper. Second, consistent with these requirements, the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure mandate that a complaint initiating a case must be signed by the plaintiff herself or by her attorney. Fed. R. Civ. P. 11(a). The rules do not permit the signing of pleadings by non-attorney representatives. Moreover, when a complaint is not properly signed, it may be stricken by the Court. See id. Plaintiff(s) did not sign the complaint in this case and it is instead signed by Mr. Falstad, who is not an attorney empowered to sign the complaint on the behalf of Plaintiff(s). Hence, a properly signed complaint has not been filed at this juncture. Third, initiating a federal lawsuit generally requires the payment of a filing fee in the amount of $402. See 28 U.S.C. § 1914(a); see also https://www.nvd.uscourts.gov/court-

1 These cases were filed on May 3, 2021. Given the administrative burden of opening 140 cases, as well as scanning and docketing 140 complaints, not all of the cases were fully docketed with a complaint until May 7, 2021. 1 information/fee-schedule/ (providing current fee schedule).” To the extent a plaintiff cannot afford to pay the filing fee, she must file an application to proceed in forma pauperis. See 28 U.S.C. § 3] 1915(a). When a plaintiff does not pay the filing fee or file an application to proceed in forma pauperis, the case may be dismissed. See, e.g., Desai v. Biden, 2021 WL 38169, at *1 (E.D. Cal. 5] Jan. 5, 2021), adopted, 2021 WL 276236 (E.D. Cal. Jan. 27, 2021). Plaintiff(s) did not pay the filing fee or file an application to proceed in forma pauperis in this case.

Nancy J. Keppe) \ United States Magistrate Judge * This $402 filing fee must be paid separately for each case. Cf, LHF Prods., Inc. v. Kabala, 2017 WL 4801656, at *5 (D. Nev. Oct. 23, 2017) (discussing need to guard against filing-fee evasion by improperly joining matters into a single suit). The cumulative filing fees for the 140 cases that Mr. Falstad has initiated would total $56,280. 3 Complying with the basic requirements set out in this order does not necessarily mean 25] that the case will proceed past the pleading stage. Cf, 28 U.S.C. § 1915(e) (addressing screening process). Although the Court will not make any determinations herein as to the sufficiency of the pleadings, a cursory review appears to show significant threshold issues ranging from improper venue to untimeliness. Plaintiff(s) may want to consider whether the time, energy, and resources being spent in this courthouse might be more productively focused elsewhere. To the extent such considerations so warrant, a notice of voluntary dismissal of the case may be filed by Plaintiff(s) or by a licensed attorney representing Plaintiff(s). See Fed. R. Civ. P. 41(a). 30
