ORDER
Now before me is a "motion to request a supplemental complaint to add
defendants and a plaintiff to original complaint filed" and a motion for leave to proceed
in forma paupens filed by movant William J. Webb, Jr. (D.I. 47, 51.) This case was
filed by plaintiffs, Darren L. Seawright ("Seawright") and Daniel M. Woods (“Woods"),
who proceed pro se, and are inmates housed in Delaware Department of Correction
institutions. Woods requests that the complaint be amended to add fellow inmate,
William J. Webb ("Webb") as a plaintiff. Only Woods signed the pending motion.
As a non-attorney, Woods may not act as an attorney for other individuals. See
In the Matter of Chojecki, Nos. 99-4850, 99-18145, 2000 WL 6790000, at * (E. D. Pa.
May 22, 2000) (citing United States v. Stepard, 876 F. Supp. 214, 215 (D. Ariz. 1994)
("Although a non-attorney may appear in propria persona on his own behalf, that
privilege is personal to him and he has no authority to appear as the attorney for
anyone other than himself.") See also Jordan v. De/aware, 433 F. Supp. 2d 433, 439
(D. Del. 2006).
