ORDER
The plaintiffs, Joseph L. D’Alessandro ("D’Alessandro") and John A. Franklin
("Franklin") , appear pro se, and have filed this action without prepayment of the filing fee. The
plaintiffs are jointly and severally liable for the $250.00 filing fee.
D’Alessandro filed a request to proceed informa pauperis (D.I. 1), but Franklin did not.
Therefore, Franklin shall file with the court a request to proceed informa pczuperis within thirty
(30) days from the date of this order. Failure by Franklin to return the requested
information within the thirty days shall result in his dismissal from the action without
prejudice. _
The court also notes that the complaint in this case is filed on behalf of both the plaintiffs,
but is signed only by plaintiff D’Alessandro. D’Alessandro is not an licensed attorney and
therefore cannot represent or file documents on behalf of other individuals. Hence, pleadings

filed on behalf of both the pro se plaintiffs must be signed by each of them. Because the
complaint is signed only by D’Alessandro, the complaint (D.I. 2) is STRICKEN. The plaintiffs
are given leave to file an amended complaint appropriately signed by both plaintiffs. The
amended complaint shall be filed within 30 days from the date of this order or the case will
be closed.
The plaintiffs are forewamed that future pleadings filed on behalf of both pro se
plaintiffs and that are not signed by each of them will be STRICKEN.
