Although an answer has not been filed by any defendant, it appears the parties are treating a letter filed April 17, 2009, as an answer. The letter is signed by an individual identified as the station operator on behalf of the defendant corporation. A joint status report is also signed by this individual on behalf of the defendant corporation. However, it is well established that "a corporation may appear in the federal courts only through licensed counsel." Rowland v. California Men's Colony, 506 U.S. 194, 202 (1993). ///// ///// ///// ///// 1
