unless the court granted motion for summary judgment of defamation per se (which also won't happen).

No, it won't happen, because only an attorney can get per se relief.

"... because only an attorney can get per se relief."

That's correct and I think we all understand that Sheehan will not be acting as her own counsel.

That said, it's common (in fact, usual) to read judicial opinions, decisions and the like with phrases like, "defendants Rogers and Hammerstein petitioned for certiorari" -- even though it's understood that the defendants did not prepare the legal documents or carry out any other legal tasks involved in the petition process.

Here's an example. Scroll down to 3rd paragraph under heading, "Twombly."
