ORDER
MIRANDA M. DU, District Judge.
Before the Court is Defendant Ryan Masters' objections to the Magistrate Judge's Order striking Defendant's motion to recuse. (Dkt. no. 359.) The Magistrate Judge ordered that Defendant's pro se motion to recuse be stricken pursuant to Local Rule IA10-6. (Dkt. no. 356.) Local Rule IA10-6(a) provides that "[a] party who has appeared by attorney cannot while so represented appear or act in the case." Defendant is represented by counsel in connection with his re-sentencing.1 Accordingly, he cannot file his motion to recuse pro se. It is therefore ordered that Defendant's objections (dkt. no. 359) are overruled.
FootNotes
1. Defendant contends that he will be appearing without counsel in other proceedings, such as in connection with his motion to vacate under 28 U.S.C. § 2255. While this may be true, Defendant is currently represented by counsel and is subject to LR IA 10-6.
