Ziheng Xing, Plaintiff, v. USA Good Travel and Tour Inc., et al., Defendants.
REPORT AND RECOMMENDATION
BRENDA WEKSLER UNITED STATES MAGISTRATE JUDGE
Defendant USA Good Travel and Tour Inc. is a corporate defendant that does not have counsel in this case. Corporations cannot represent themselves and must be represented by attorneys. See In re Am. W. Airlines, 40 F.3d 1058, 1059 (9th Cir. 1994) (stating that “[c]orporations and other unincorporated associations must appear in court through an attorney.”). As such, the Court has repeatedly ordered USA Good Travel to retain counsel and warned it that a failure to do so would result in a default being entered against it. See ECF Nos. 15, 19, 26, 30. USA Good Travel has not complied with the Court's repeated orders.
IT IS THEREFORE RECOMMENDED that a default be entered against Defendant USA Good Travel and Tour Inc.
