CHRISTOPHER O. SMITH, Petitioner v. JERRY HOWELL, et al., Respondents
ORDER STRIKING FUGITIVE DOCUMENT [ECF No. 80]
This is a 28 U.S.C. § 2254 counseled habeas corpus petition. Despite being represented by counsel, petitioner Christopher Smith filed a pro se request for judicial notice, asking “this court to compel [his] Federal Appellate attorney to . . . supplement [his] writ.” ECF No. 80. Once an attorney has made an appearance on behalf of a party, the party may not personally file any document with the court. LR IA 11-6. Smith's filing is a fugitive document not properly before the court.
It is therefore ordered that petitioner's pro se request for judicial notice [ECF No. 80] shall be stricken as a fugitive document.
