MICHAEL P. GIROUARD, Plaintiff, v. PLASMERG, INC., Defendant.

4:11-cv-239 RP-TJS

ORDER

John P. Rohner, who describes himself as the ex CEO, Director, Stockholder & employee of PlasmERG Inc., has filed a pro se document styled as an Appearance per Summons issued June 22, 2011 and Request to Join and be Paid. Clerks No. 15 at 1 (emphasis in original). This document appears to be intended, at least in part, as a motion to intervene. See id. at 2 (stating that John P. Rohner is no longer an employee, or in any way connected to, PlasmERG, Inc. and John P. Rohner would ask to join this case against PlasmERG and Michael P. Girouard). To the extent that this document is, in fact, intended to be a motion to intervene, it is DENIED for failure to comply with the Local Rules.1 See L.R. 7(b). IT IS SO ORDERED. Dated this ___1st___day of July, 2011.

The Court notes that if, as Mr. Rohner asserts, he is no longer affiliated with Defendant PlasmERG, Inc., then he is not required to appear or file an answer because he is not named as a party in this case. If, however, Mr. Rohner wishes to be a party in this case, he must file a motion that complies with the Local Rules and that explains why he should be allowed to intervene pursuant to Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 24.
