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

14

new counsel. On July 16, 2018, the Court granted Steven Loizzi, Jr. Esq.’s Motion to Withdraw

15

as Counsel for Defendant Alessi & Koenig, LLC and instructed Defendant to retain new counsel

16

no later than August 3, 2018. See ECF No. 61. To date, Defendant has failed to retain new

17

counsel. Defendant is instructed that it must retain new counsel if it intends to litigate this

18

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

19

licensed counsel. U.S. v. High Country Broad. Co., Inc., 3 F.3d 1244, 1245 (9th Cir. 1993).

Accordingly,

21

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

22

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

23

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