ORDER TO SHOW CAUSE

31, 2009, the court granted plaintiffs' then-counsel's motion to withdraw. The court ordered Sun City Towers, LLC, Atocha Land, LLC, and Cirrito Holdings, LLC to retain new counsel and file a notice of appearance by August 14, 2009 because as corporations they may only appear through a member of the bar of this court. Civ. L. R. 3-9(b). Failure to comply with this order is an appropriate ground for dismissal. See Multi Denominational Ministry of Cannabis and Rastafari, Inc. v. Gonzales, 474 F. Supp. 2d 1133, 1141 (N.D. Cal. 2007) (dismissing claims brought by a corporate plaintiff without attorney representation). The court therefore orders Sun City Towers, LLC, Atocha Land, LLC, and Cirrito Holdings, LLC to appear on November 20, 2009, and show cause why their complaint should not be dismissed with prejudice for failure to retain new counsel by the court ordered deadline of August 14, 2009.
