Case No. 11-14194
03-18-2013
KEITH REID, Plaintiff, v. HURLEY MEDICAL CENTER, Defendant.
ORDER DENYING PLAINTIFF'S "MOTION FOR EMPLOYMENT DISCRIMINATION"
In June 2011, Plaintiff Keith Reid, with the assistance of counsel, filed a lawsuit against Defendant Hurley Medical Center. Plaintiff voluntarily dismissed the case with prejudice, which this court ordered on November 16, 2011. On February 21, 2013, Plaintiff, without the assistance of counsel, filed a "motion for employment discrimination." (Dkt. # 6.) The court will dismiss the motion for two reasons. First, the motion is improvidently filed. A person represented by counsel must speak through counsel. The present motion was not filed by Plaintiff's counsel, but rather by Plaintiff himself. Second, after reviewing the motion, the court finds that no basis for relief has been presented in the motion or can be imagined by the court. This case was dismissed on November 16, 2011, and no appeal was filed. The matter is concluded, and the motion is without merit. Accordingly,
IT IS ORDERED that Plaintiff's "motion for employment discrimination" [Dkt. # 6] is DENIED.
