Case No. 2:16-cv-00496-GMN-CWH
ORDER

14
Presently before the Court is attorney Michael N. Beede’s motion to withdraw as counsel
15
for Defendant CSC Acquisition & Holding Group, LLC (ECF No. 54), filed on June 26, 2017.
16
Counsel moves to withdraw as attorney, arguing that Defendant CSC has dissolved and continued
17
representation would be unduly burdensome. Counsel represents that he has tried to communicate
18
with Defendant CSC by telephone but has been unsuccessful.
19
Having reviewed and considered the motion, and good cause appearing, the court will grant
20
the motion to withdraw and order Defendant CSC to retain a new attorney. Defendant CSC is
21
advised that because it is a corporation, it cannot represent itself and must be represented by an
22
attorney in this action. See In re Am. W. Airlines, 40 F.3d 1058, 1059 (9th Cir. 1994) (stating that
23
“[c]orporations and other unincorporated associations must appear in court through an attorney.”).
24
Defendant is further advised that failure to retain an attorney may result in the imposition of
25
sanctions under Local Rule IA 11-8.
26
IT IS THEREFORE ORDERED that the motion to withdraw as attorney (ECF No. 54) is
27
GRANTED.
28
IT IS FURTHER ORDERED that attorney Michael Beede must attempt to serve a copy of

1

his motion and this order on Defendant CSC Acquisition & Holding Group, LLC, and must file

2

proof of that service by July 12, 2017.

3

IT IS FURTHER ORDERED that on or before August 9, 2017, Defendant CSC Acquisition

4

& Holding Group, LLC, must retain a new attorney and that attorney must file a notice of

5

appearance in this case.
