ORDER ON NEXT FRIEND STANDING, MOTION TO APPOINT COUNSEL, AND PROCEEDING WITH ATTORNEY. The Court hereby ORDERS: 1. Within FORTY-FIVE (45) days from the date of service of this order, EITHER a. Petitioner Doniet Molina Arzola must notify the court in writing that (1) Gonzalez filed the petition for writ of habeas corpus (Dkt. No. 1 ) with Petitioner's knowledge and permission; (2) Petitioner must declare under penalty of perjury that the contents of the petition are true and correct; and (3) going forward, Petitioner will appear on their own behalf to prosecute this habeas action; OR b. Gonzalez must secure licensed counsel and said counsel shall file a notice of appearance in this matter. 2. Because Gonzalez is not an attorney, he may not file motions on behalf of Petitioner. See Caputo, 2023 WL 5207318, at *5. The motion to appoint counsel (Dkt. No. 2 ) is therefore DENIED. 3. The scheduling order (Dkt. No. 4 ) is STRICKEN to allow Petitioner and/or Gonzalez to take the steps identified above. A new scheduling order will be issued once compliance with this order is accomplished. 4. The Clerk is directed to (1) send Petitioner a copy of the petition (Dkt. No. 1 ) along with this order and (2) send Gonzalez a copy of this order at the address listed in Dkt. No. 1 -2 at 1. 5. Failure to comply with this Order will result in dismissal without prejudice. Signed by U.S. District Judge David G Estudillo.
