On June 8, 2018, the Magistrate Judge filed a Recommendation to which no timely objections have been filed. (Doc. # 4.)

In federal court, parties "may plead and conduct their own cases personally or by counsel." 28 U.S.C. § 1654. "The right to appear pro se . . . is limited to parties conducting 'their own cases,' and does not extend to non-attorney parties representing the interests of others." FuQua v. Massey, 615 F.
