Page 2 
Native Son, Inc. (“Native Son”) filed this action for 
breach of contract, fraud, and restitution on December 6, 2012. 
That complaint named Greg H. Slayton (“Slayton”), Delta 
Performance Marine, LLC (“Delta Performance”) and Ocean Marine 
Engines, LLC (“OME”) as defendants.  
Thereafter, on July 18, 2013, Native Son filed an amended 
complaint.  The amended complaint named Slayton, Delta 
Performance, and OME as defendants. It also added OME Sales, LLC 
(“OME Sales”) and Delta Equipment International Sales Corp. 
(“Delta Equipment”) as defendants. 
On September 18, 2013, at docket entry 34, OME Sales filed 
something entitled an “amended answer.” On examination of the 
document, the Court notes that it was submitted and signed by 
Slayton. 
Local Rule of Civil Procedure 82.1 states that “[o]nly 
individuals who are parties in civil cases may represent 
themselves. All other non-attorneys are not permitted to 
represent a party before this Court. . . . All parties other 
than individuals must be represented by counsel.” LRCi 82.1. OME 
Sales is not an individual.  It is a corporation.  As such, 
under LRCi 82.1, OME Sales must be represented by counsel.  
Slayton is not a member of this Court’s bar.  As such, he cannot 
act as OME Sales’s counsel.
