On February 14, 2012, a submission captioned “Documents for Consideration As Evidence By
the Court” was filed with the Court. The caption page indicates that the document was filed by
“Victor Cruz, Agent for Service of Process” for Cruz International, Inc.
VICTOR CRUZ IS HEREBY ORDERED TO SHOW CAUSE on March 9, 2012, at 9:01 a.m. why
the February 14, 2012 filing should not be stricken by the Court. The document is not a proper
appearance by Defendant Cruz International, Inc., which as a corporation cannot appear in this court
other than by counsel. See, e.g., Rowland v. California Men's Colony, Unit II Men's Advisory
Council, 506 U.S. 194, 195, 113 S.Ct. 716, 717 (1993). Further, as a default has been entered against
Defendant Cruz International, Inc., no appearance can be made other than a request to set aside the
default.
Any written response to this Order shall be filed and served no later than March 2, 2012.
IT IS SO ORDERED.
February 15, 2012
