Defendant's Motion for Prescription Eye Glasses (#17)
GEORGE FOLEY, Jr., Magistrate Judge.
This matter is before the Court on Defendant's Motion for Prescription Eye Glasses (#17), filed on April 9, 2014.
A district court has no obligation to entertain pro se motions filed by a represented party. See Abdullah v. U.S., 240 F.3d 683, 685 (8th Cir. 2001). Here, despite his represented status, Defendant Alba filed a pro se motion requesting prescription eye glasses while he is incarcerated to read his legal materials. See Doc. #17. The Court is inclined to deny Defendant's motion without prejudice due to Defendant's represented status. The Court, however, requests defense counsel either file a motion on Defendant's behalf or submit a status report updating the Court on this issue. Accordingly,
IT IS HEREBY ORDERED that Defendant's Motion for Prescription Eye Glasses (#17) is denied without prejudice.
IT IS FURTHER ORDERED that defense counsel either file a motion on Defendant's behalf or submit a status report updating the Court on Defendant's prescription eye glass issue.
