ORDER REQUIRING PLAINTIFF
TO OBTAIN COUNSEL
14
Plaintiff in this case is Eagle Rock Contracting LLC. Plaintiff purports to be proceeding pro
15
se. See, e.g., Docket No. 1-1. Corporations may not proceed pro se and, instead, can appear in
16
federal court only through licensed counsel. See, e.g., United States v. High Country Broad. Co.,
17
Inc., 3 F.3d 1244, 1245 (9th Cir. 1993). When a plaintiff corporation is unwilling or unable to obtain
18
counsel, it is proper for this Court to dismiss its claims. See, e.g., Local Ad Link, Inc. v. Adzzoo,
19
LLC, 2012 WL 1344896, *2 (D. Nev. Apr. 18, 2012) (Navarro, C.J.) (citing Employee Painters’
20
Trust v. Ethan Enterps., Inc., 480 F.3d 993, 998 (9th Cir. 2007)).
21
Accordingly, Plaintiff is hereby ORDERED to obtain licensed counsel and that counsel shall
22
file a notice of appearance on Plaintiff’s behalf no later than August 20, 2014. In the event Plaintiff
23
fails to comply, the undersigned will recommend that this case be dismissed.
24
IT IS SO ORDERED.
