MARTIN LOMAKOSKI and DOUGLAS ROWE, Plaintiffs, v. TOTAL RESPONSE EMS, INC., Defendant.
OPINION AND ORDER LIFTING STAY AND STRIKING DEFENSES
LINDA V. PARKER, U.S. DISTRICT JUDGE.
On October 11, 2022, this Court granted a motion to withdraw as counsel filed by Defendant's then attorney, Saif Kasmikha and Midwest Legal Partners, LLC. (ECF No. 27.) The Court stayed the matter for 45 days to allow Defendant to retain new counsel and advised Defendant that, because corporate entities cannot proceed without an attorney, the failure to retain new counsel “will result in Defendant's defenses being stricken without further notice of the Court, and the Court . . . conduct[ing] further proceedings in its absence in accordance with the law.” (Id.)
The 45 days have expired and no attorney has entered an appearance on behalf of Defendant on the docket.
Accordingly,
IT IS ORDERED that the stay is LIFTED.
IT IS FURTHER ORDERED that Defendant's defenses are STRICKEN.
