DALE A. DROZD, Magistrate Judge.
Plaintiff has filed a document with the court styled as, "Plaintiff's Objections To The Magistrate Judge's Findings And Recommendations; Request For 45 Day Extension; Motion For Appointment Of Counsel." (Doc. No. 29.) Therein, plaintiff indicates that he has found an "inmate-jailhouse lawyer who is willing to prepare a more effective response that will show why plaintiff's claims should not be dismissed" and plaintiff requests 45 days to file his "opposition" to the court's findings and recommendations issued on February 8, 2012. (Doc. No. 29 at 2.) In addition, plaintiff seeks the appointment of the "jailhouse lawyer" in question to represent him. (
On March 26, 2012, the assigned District Judge adopted the undersigned's February 8, 2012 findings and recommendation after conducting a de novo review of the case and taking into consideration plaintiff's objections filed on February 24, 2012. Therefore, plaintiff's request for an extension of time will be denied as untimely.
Plaintiff request for the appointment of his "jailhouse lawyer" as his counsel will also be denied. A non-lawyer may appear pro se only on behalf of himself; he cannot represent the interests of others.
Accordingly, IT IS HEREBY ORDERED that plaintiff's March 29, 2012 request for an extension of time to file further objections to the findings and recommendations filed on February 8, 2012, and for the appointment of a "jailhouse lawyer" to represent plaintiff (Doc. No. 29), is denied.
