ORDER
On March 7, 2008, the United States filed a notice of its election to decline to intervene in this action, subsequent to the filing of the First Amended Complaint. Relator Glenn Collyer is prohibited from prosecuting this qui tam action on behalf of the United States under the False Claims Act as a pro se litigant. See U.S. ex. rel Stoner v. Santa Clara County Office of Educ., 502 F.3d 1116, 1126-28 (9th Cir. 2007). Accordingly, good cause appearing, it is hereby ordered that no later than June 25, 2008, Collyer shall secure counsel, and counsel shall file a notice of appearance. In the event no appearance by counsel is made by that date, the action will be dismissed. The Case Management Conference scheduled for April 9, 2008 is vacated.
IT IS SO ORDERED.
