Plaintiff Syed Nazim Ali filed this case on March 15, 2016, apparently on behalf of

13

himself and Global Ebusiness Services, Inc. Neither party is represented by counsel. Pursuant to

14

Civil Local Rule 3-9(b), a corporation or other such entity may appear only through a member of

15

the bar of this Court. Thus, Syed Nazim Ali can appear on behalf of Global Ebusiness Services

16

only if he is a member of this District’s bar. Rowland v. Cal. Men’s Colony, Unit II Men’s

Advisory Council, 506 U.S. 194, 202 (1993); D-Beam Ltd. P’ship v. Roller Derby Skates, Inc., 366

18

F.3d 972, 973-74 (9th Cir. 2004). Accordingly, the Court ORDERS Global Ebusiness Services,

19

Inc. to retain counsel, and for its counsel to file a notice of appearance, by April 14, 2016. If

20

counsel fails to appear by this date, Global’s claims shall be dismissed and the case will proceed

21

only as to Syed Nazim Ali.

IT IS SO ORDERED.
