JOSHUA DANIEL MILLS, Plaintiff, v. GEORGE MALIM, et al., Defendants.
ORDER
Plaintiff is a state prisoner proceeding pro se with a civil rights action pursuant to 42 U.S.C. § 1983. On December 12, 2011, a document styled "Substitution of Attorney" was filed in this action, purporting to substitute Julia M. Young, Esq. in as counsel for plaintiff. That document did not contain a space for approval of the proposed substitution by this court. Cf. Local Rule 182(g). On January 23, 2012, Ms. Young filed a document styled "Substitution of Attorney and Order." That document includes the phrase "IT IS SO ORDERED:", below which is the date January 24, 2012, and above the signature line for the undersigned reads "/s/ John F. Moulds".
This court did not sign the document filed on January 23, 2012. No substitution of counsel has been approved by this court. Plaintiff continues to proceed pro se. The Clerk of the Court is directed to serve a copy of this order on plaintiff Joshua Daniel Mills, # V60065, at Pelican Bay State Prison and on Julia M. Young, Esq., Law Offices of Julia M. Young, 3017 Douglas Blvd., Suite 300, Roseville, CA 95661 and to correct the court record to reflect that plaintiff is proceeding pro se.
IT IS SO ORDERED.
