On December 7, 2011, the court issued an Order requiring Defendant Leonard A. Gross
19
Professional Corporation to retain counsel no later than December 30, 2011. [Docket No. 233.] In
20
the Order, the court noted that if Defendant Leonard A. Gross Professional Corporation failed to
21
retain counsel, its Answer may be stricken and default entered against it. To date, Defendant
22
Leonard A. Gross Professional Corporation has not complied with the December 7, 2011 Order. On
23
January 6, 2012, Plaintiff Golden Gate Way LLC and Defendants Jeanne Stewart, Jeanne’s Hamlin
24
Cleaners, Jeanne Stewart d/b/a Hamlin Cleaners and Tommy Lee Stewart filed a Request for Entry
25
of Default Against Defendant Leonard A. Gross Professional Corporation on the grounds that it is
26
not represented by counsel and failed to comply with the Court’s December 7, 2011 Order. [Docket
27
No. 237.]
28
1
In an excess of caution, the court will give Leonard A. Gross Professional Corporation an
2
opportunity to explain why default should not be entered against it for its failure to retain counsel.
3
Therefore, IT IS HEREBY ORDERED that by no later than January 24, 2012, Defendant Leonard
4
A. Gross Professional Corporation shall file a letter with the court explaining why its Answer should
5
not be stricken and default entered against it.
