Plaintiff,

v.

ORDER

BANK OF AMERICA, et al.,
Defendants.

12

This matter is before the Court on Defendant Alessi & Koenig, LLC’s failure to retain new

13

counsel. On July 17, 2018, the Court granted Steven Loizzi, Jr. Esq.’s Motion to Withdraw as

14

Counsel for Defendant Alessi & Koenig, LLC and instructed Defendant to retain new counsel no

15

later than August 15, 2018. See ECF No. 79. Defendant must retain new counsel if it intends to

16

litigate this matter. A corporation or limited liability company may appear in federal court only

17

through licensed counsel. U.S. v. High Country Broad. Co., Inc., 3 F.3d 1244, 1245 (9th Cir.

18

1993). To date, Defendant has failed to retain new counsel. Accordingly,

19

IT IS HEREBY ORDERED that Defendant Alessi & Koenig, LLC shall have until

20

September 14, 2018 to advise the Court if it will retain new local counsel. Failure to comply

21

shall result in the issuance of an order to show cause why sanctions should not be imposed.
