Local Rule LR1-111. Appearances and withdrawals by self-represented parties (pro se parties).
[Related to Statewide Rules 1-089, 5-107, and 10-165 NMRA]
A. Appearances by pro se parties. Parties who represent themselves shall enter
an appearance, shall sign their pleadings, motions, or other papers, and shall include
their name, address, e-mail address, if any, and telephone number on all pleadings.
B. Pro se parties’ changes of address. Parties who represent themselves shall
inform the court of any change of mailing address, e-mail address, if any, or telephone
number by filing a notice with the clerk of the court and serving it on all parties and the
judge assigned to the case.
C. Pleadings and other documents. If a pleading, motion, response, or any other
document (other than an exhibit) submitted by a pro se party has been prepared in
whole or in part by a person other than the pro se party, then that person shall be
identified as the drafter and the drafter’s name, address, telephone number, and e-mail
address shall be noted on the document. If a pro se party fails to identify the drafter,
then the court may strike the document from the record and disregard its contents.
D. Rules of procedure and evidence applicable. Pro se parties must adhere to all
applicable rules of procedure and evidence to the same extent as a party represented
by an attorney.
