The court ordered Ogunjobi, within 30 days, either to pay $405 or submit a signed application to proceed without prepaying fees. No summons will issue yet. The court also stated that Ogunjobi cannot represent the two entities because the opinion says Ogunjobi does not claim to be an attorney.

Background
Adesijuola Ogunjobi filed the complaint without a lawyer, on their own behalf and on behalf of 5 World Market Tickets and the Rhode Island Stock Exchange. The complaint did not include the required filing and administrative fees, totaling $405, and Ogunjobi did not submit an application to proceed without prepaying fees.
Order
The court ordered Ogunjobi to do one of two things within 30 days of the order: pay the $405 in fees or submit a signed application to proceed without prepaying fees. If the court grants that application, Ogunjobi may proceed without paying the fees in advance. The application must identify docket number 25-CV-6350.
The court stated that artificial entities cannot proceed without a lawyer or without prepaying fees in this court. Because Ogunjobi does not claim to be an attorney, Ogunjobi cannot represent 5 World Market Tickets or the Rhode Island Stock Exchange. No summons will issue at this time. If Ogunjobi complies with the order, the case will be processed under the Clerk’s Office procedures; if Ogunjobi does not comply within the allowed time, the action will be dismissed.
Appeal-fee ruling and disposition
Chief United States District Judge Laura Taylor Swain certified that an appeal from the order would not be taken in good faith and denied permission to appeal without prepaying fees. This order addressed filing requirements and representation; it did not decide the complaint’s underlying claims.
