behalf of the party; no separate entry of appearance is required.

(2) A non-attorney may not appear on behalf of any other person or entity.

(3) A party who has appeared by counsel may not thereafter act on the party’s own

behalf in the action unless an order of withdrawal of counsel has been entered by the

notice of change of address, telephone number, and/or e-mail address within 7 days

of such change.

(2) Self-represented parties must keep the court and other parties advised of the

party’s current address and telephone number.

(3) If a court order or other mail served on a pro se plaintiff at their address of record

is returned by the Postal Service as undeliverable and the pro se party has not filed a

notice of change of address within 14 days of the service date of the order or other

court document, the court may dismiss the action with or without prejudice for failure

to prosecute pursuant to Local Civil Rule 41.1.
