ORDER
This matter is before the Court on Plaintiff's Motion to Strike Purported Answer of Defendant Stottgracey, LLC, d/b/a Sportscaster Bar Grill, a/k/a Sportscaster Bar, a/k/a Sportscaster Grill Tavern, a/k/a Sportcasters Bar Restaurant [Docket No. 11; Filed November 13, 2009] (the "Motion"). Defendant David Stott has appeared on behalf of himself, pro se, and on behalf of Stottgracey, LLC, and filed an Answer to the Plaintiff's Complaint [Docket No. 10]. Because David Stott is not a licensed attorney admitted to practice in this Court, he is not permitted to represent Stottgracey, LLC. See 28 U.S.C. § 1654; Harrison v. Wahatoyas, LLC, 253 F.3d 552, 556-57 (10th Cir. 2001) ("[A] corporation or other business entity can only appear in court through an attorney and not through a non-attorney corporate officer appearing pro se."]. Pursuant to D.C. Colo. L. Civ. R. 11.1(A), a pleading listing in a signature block or otherwise purporting to enter an appearance by anyone other than a pro se individual party or a member of this court's bar may be stricken by the Court. Accordingly,
IT IS HEREBY ORDERED that the Motion is GRANTED. The Answer of Defendant Stottgracey, LLC, is STRICKEN.
