AMERICAN LECITHIN COMPANY, LIPOID GmbH, LIPOID LLC, and PHOSPHOLIPID GmbH, Plaintiffs, v. CARSTEN MATTHIAS REBMANN, Defendant; Counterclaim and Third-Party Plaintiff, v. HERBERT REBMANN, LIPOID GRUNDSTUECKS GmbH, LIPOID VERWALTUNGS, GmbH, LIPOID AG, and COMPLECTOR AG, Third-Party Defendants.
ORDER
Vernon S. Broderick United States District Judge
On July 13, 2022, I held a conference in this matter, as I indicated I would in my May 10, 2022 Order. (Doc. 305.) Defendant Carsten Matthias Rebmann (“Carsten”) did not appear, either individually or through counsel, and his previous counsel already withdrew from this action. At this point, Carsten is unrepresented in this action. Counsel for Plaintiffs indicated that there is still outstanding discovery to be completed, and that had not had any contact with Carsten or anyone representing Carsten since the conference I held on May 10, 2022.
In light of this, it is ORDERED that I will hold another conference in this matter on August 10, 2022, at 1 pm. Carsten must appear, either on his own behalf or through new counsel. If Carsten does not appear, I may grant default judgment against him as to all matters, and I may dismiss his counterclaims for failure to prosecute pursuant to Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 41(b).
The Clerk of Court is respectfully directed to mail a copy of this order to Carsten using the address for him on the docket, as well as to mail a copy to his former counsel, Samuel Goldman, at Mr. Goldman's address on the docket. Mr. Goldman should forward his copy of the order to Carsten if he can.
SO ORDERED.
