ORDER (AGS): Petitioner has filed a pro se motion to enforce (ECF 8 ), but he has counsel of record. "When a party is represented by counsel, [he] may not appear, file motions, or otherwise act on [his] own behalf without leave of the court." Mora v. Black Horse Cap. Inc., No. 3:25-cv-0017-RBM-AHG, 2026 WL 184204, at *2 (S.D. Cal. Jan. 23, 2026); see also Fed. R. Civ. P. 11(a) ("Every pleading, written motion, and other paper must be signed by [the] attorney of record in the attorney's nameor by a party personally if the party is unrepresented."). So, the motion to enforce (ECF 8 ) is denied without prejudice. If petitioner wishes to re-file the motion, he must either direct his counsel to do so or seek leave of court to file on his own behalf. Signed by District Judge Andrew G. Schopler on 10/14/2026.
