Opinion
2:09-cv-00653-RLH-LRL.
September 3, 2010
ORDER
For good cause shown,
IT IS ORDERED that Gordon Silver's Amended Motion to Withdraw as Counsel for Defendants Quality Printing, Inc. and Leticia Castro (#94) is granted.
Defendants are advised that a corporation may appear in federal court only through licensed counsel. Rowland v. California Men's Colony, 506 U.S. 194, 202 (1993). Default against a corporation, or dismissal of its claims, is a permissible sanction for its failure to comply with the requirement that it be represented by counsel. United States v. High Country Broadcasting Co., 3 F.3d 1244, 1245 (9th Cir. 1993).
IT IS THEREFORE FURTHER ORDERED that defendants shall have until October 8, 2010 to retain new counsel and file either a notice of appearance of new counsel or a memorandum explaining why they have not retained new counsel.
DATED this 3rd day of September, 2010.
