ORDER1

This matter comes before the Court on review of the docket. On June 11, 2015, Defendant Ronald Francis Croteau filed a notice as a pro se litigant. (Doc. #175). Croteau is represented by Attorney David Joffe. Since Croteau is represented by an attorney he is not permitted to file anything on the docket pro se. See M.D. Fla. 2.03(d) ("Any party for whom a general appearance of counsel has been made shall not thereafter take any step or be heard in the case in proper person, absent prior leave of Court"). Also, since this matter is on appeal, the Court is unable to take any action on this case. United States v. Diveroli, 729 F.3d 1339, 1341 (11th Cir. 2013) ("When an appeal is filed, `the district court is divested of jurisdiction to take any action with regard to the matter except in aid of the appeal.'") (quoting Shewchun v. United States, 797 F.2d 941, 942 (11th Cir. 1986)). The Court will strike the notice.

Accordingly, it is now

ORDERED:

The Clerk is directed to STRIKE the pro se notice. (Doc. #175). The Government's Motion to Strike (Doc. #179) is DENIED as moot.
