Every party to proceedings in this Court, except parties appearing pro se, shall be
represented by a permanent member of the bar of this Court and may be represented by
a visiting attorney as provided in LR Gen P 83.02. With the exception of student loan
cases, the United States Attorney, in addition to other government attorneys, must sign
all papers filed and served by the United States. The United States Attorney must
abide by this requirement even when the United States is associated with other
government attorneys in proceedings involving the government. All papers involving the
government may be served on the United States Attorney in accordance with the service
requirements of the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure and the Federal Rules of Criminal
Procedure. Parties appearing pro se shall, at their first appearance, provide written
notice of their phone numbers, complete names, and addresses where all papers may
be served upon them, and shall have a continuing duty to update this information in
writing.
In absence of a court order, no attorney who has entered an appearance in any
civil or criminal action shall withdraw the appearance or have it stricken from the record.
