On October 4, 2019, the Court granted Plaintiff Federal Solutions Group, Inc.’s (“FSG”)

14

counsel’s motion to withdraw as counsel, and gave Plaintiff 45 days to find substitute counsel,

15

because corporations cannot appear in federal court except by counsel. (Dkt. No. 74 at 2.)

16

Plaintiff was advised “that the failure to obtain new counsel or comply with Court orders may

17

result in this case being dismissed for failure to prosecute.” Id. Former counsel filed a certificate of

18

service on October 4, 2019, stating that FSG’s sole shareholder, Selina Singh, and key personnel,

19

Manjinder Paul Singh and Kabir Singh, were served with a copy of the order. (Dkt. No. 75.) To date,

20

Plaintiff has not filed a notice of substitution of counsel.

23

On December 3, 2019, the Court held a case management conference, where Plaintiff did
not appear.
Accordingly, Plaintiff is ORDERED TO SHOW CAUSE, in writing, by no later than

24

December 31, 2019, why it did not file a substitution of counsel by November 18, 2019 as

25

ordered, and why the first amended complaint should not be dismissed for failure to prosecute and

26

its answer to the amended counterclaim (Dkt. No. 24) stricken. Plaintiff shall also file a notice of

27

substitution of counsel by December 31, 2019. The failure to respond to this order to show cause

28

and to file a notice of substitution of counsel will result in the dismissal of the first amended

1

complaint and the striking of the answer to the amended counterclaim. Defendant may then seek

2

Plaintiff’s default.
