UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT EASTERN DISTRICT OF MICHIGAN SOUTHERN DIVISION

WHITE BROKERAGE COMPANY, et al., Plaintiffs, vs. J.R. MAZZOLA, JR, et al., Defendants. ________________________________/ Civil Action No. 10-CV-10754 HON. MARK A. GOLDSMITH

ORDER GRANTING D.E. 132 AND EXTENDING CERTAIN DATES On April 7, 2011, the Court held a telephonic motion hearing regarding the motion for withdrawal of attorney Stuart J. Snider, counsel for Intervenor Plaintiff Miedema Produce, Inc. (Docket entry (D.E.) 132). For the reasons stated on the record, the Court orders as follows: 1. The motion is granted. Intervenor Plaintiff Miedema Produce, Inc., has until April 29, 2011 to have an attorney file an appearance on its behalf. Because a corporation may not appear pro se in federal court, Rowland v. California Men's Colony, 506 U.S. 194, 202 (1993), if an attorney does not appear by April 29, 2011, the Court will dismiss with prejudice Miedema's claims that have not yet been reduced to judgment. 2. The Court extends the discovery cut-off to May 31, 2011. The Court also extends the dispositive and expert-related motions due date to May 31, 2011. All other dates remain unchanged. IT IS SO ORDERED. Dated: April 8, 2011 s/Mark A. Goldsmith MARK A. GOLDSMITH United States District Judge
