Not legally, unless the owner of the check open endorses, (signs their name on the back). Then it is simply a negotiable instrument to any holder.

However, that is what is called a "3rd Party" check. The first being who wrote it, the second the one it was written to, and the 3rd the one who it is now endorsed or assigned to (or even if the assignment is open). These are generally much harder to cash, and flatly won't be accepted by many places.
