On March 31, 2017, this court granted Brian R. Katz’s motion to withdraw as
19
attorney for plaintiff. ECF No. 69 at 4. Plaintiff, as a corporation, is subject to the longstanding
20
rule that “corporations and other incorporated associations must appear in court through an
21
attorney.” Indymac Fed. Bank, F.S.B., No. 08–1871, 2010 WL 2000013, at *2; see also Local
22
Rule 183(a). Because Katz’s withdrawal would have effectively placed the plaintiff in immediate
23
violation of the rules, this court granted plaintiff thirty days to obtain substitute counsel. ECF No.
24
69 at 4. The court warned plaintiff if it failed to obtain new counsel, and have counsel file a
25
notice of appearance, it would be subject to dismissal for failure to prosecute. Id. The order was
26
served on plaintiff at its last known address. Id.

Thirty days have long passed, and there is no indication plaintiff has obtained
2
counsel. Accordingly, the court orders plaintiff to SHOW CAUSE, within seven days of this
3
order, why this case should not be dismissed for failure to prosecute. Fed. R. Civ. P. 41(b).
