minord Minute Order Terminate Motion Order on Motion for Miscellaneous Relief Tue 09/26 8:53 AM
MINUTE ORDER IN CHAMBERS of the Honorable Magistrate Judge Brenda Weksler on 9/26/2023. ORDER denying22 Motion for Attorney to Show Authority. First, Plaintiff has not adequately cited points and authorities justifying her request. She complains that an attorney licensed in the State of Texas has sent her discovery requests in this action in federal court raising federal claims. There is no requirement that a party sending discovery requests be licensed to practice law in the state that the district court is in. A paralegal may send discovery requests on behalf of a client. Mr. Pietrzak has not "appeared" in this action pursuant to the Local Rules for the District of Nevada, and therefore is not required to seek permission to mail discovery requests to Plaintiff, were he to file pleadings or appear at a hearing on behalf of a client, then he would first comply with the Local Rules. Second, Plaintiff cites no factual or legal authority that "Sarai L Thornton" was hired without authority. Further, the full faith and credit clause does not require the Court to apply the Texas Rules of Civil Procedure in this action to a Nevada attorney practicing law in the Federal District of Nevada. The motion is DENIED. (no image attached) (Copies have been distributed pursuant to the NEF - BXS)
