ORDER DENYING PLAINTIFF'S MOTION FOR ASSISTANCE AT TRIAL

(ECF NO. 192)

STANLEY A. BOONE, Magistrate Judge.

Plaintiff is appearing pro se and in forma pauperis in this civil rights action pursuant to 42 U.S.C. § 1983.

On May 26, 2016, Plaintiff filed a motion titled as "Motion of Designation of Shante Danielle Lands as Plaintiff's Assistance for Pretrial and Trial Purposes." Plaintiff requests the assistance of Shante Danielle Lands as an assistant at trial. Plaintiff contends that because the Court denied his motions for the appointment of counsel, he needs assistance at trial to help him adequately present his case. Plaintiff supports his motion with the declaration of Shante Danielle Lands, who declares that Plaintiff sought her assistance and that she is willing to assist him at trial. (ECF No. 192, p. 3.)

Plaintiff is advised that parties representing themselves "must appear personally or by courtesy appearance by an attorney admitted to the Bar of this Court and may not delegate that duty to any other individual, including husband or wife, or any other party on the same side appearing without an attorney." Local Rule 183(a). Any individuals who are not an attorney and not admitted to this Court are precluded from appearing on behalf of anyone but them self. Johns v. Cnty. of San Diego, 114 F.3d 874, 877 (9th Cir. 1997); C. E. Pope Equity Trust v. United States, 818 F.2d 696, 697 (9th Cir. 1987). Plaintiff, proceeding pro se on his own behalf, is solely responsible for prosecuting this action. There is no indication that Ms. Lands is an attorney admitted to this Court.

Accordingly, IT IS HEREBY ORDERED that Plaintiff's Motion for Assistance at Trial is DENIED.

IT IS SO ORDERED.
