Plaintiffs,
v.

ORDER

HARWINDER BISLA, et al.,

15

Defendants.

16
17

By order filed August 11, 2016, the defendant corporations were ordered to obtain counsel

18

no later than September 9, 2016. Defendants have failed to obtain counsel. It is well established

19

that “a corporation may appear in the federal courts only through licensed counsel.” Rowland v.

20

California Men’s Colony, 506 U.S. 194, 202 (1993); see also In re America West Airlines, 40

21

F.3d 1058 (9th Cir. 1994) (non-attorney members of partnership cannot appear on behalf of

22

partnership). The defendant corporations may not proceed in this action pro se.

23

Accordingly, IT IS HEREBY ORDERED that the Clerk of Court shall enter defaults

24

against defendant ASR Bisla Restaurant and Lounge and defendant 7-11/Shell.

Dated: September 28, 2016
