Court Description: MEMORANDUM OPINION AND ORDER, #98449 that the Court has received the attached Motion for Proposed Appearance" in which the plaintiff seeks to represent himself pro se in this case concerning efforts he seeks to pursue relating to his purported d esire to be nominated to the American Express Board of Directors and to pursue a Shareholder Proposal. He seeks to continue with his counsel for other matters in this case but to represent himself solely with respect to the above cited issues. Becau se the plaintiff is represented by counsel in this case, the plaintiff's application to represent himself for certain issues is denied. It should also be noted that this litigation is about events that occurred some years ago. It is not a vehicl e to raise new claims or issues that the plaintiff may have with American Express. If he wishes to raise those issues, the proper vehicle is a new lawsuit which does not appear to be related to the issues in this case. The Court expresses noopinion on any such new lawsuit.
