Defendants.

13

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

14

counsel. On July 6, 2018, the Court granted Steven Loizzi, Jr. Esq.’s Motion to Withdraw as

15

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

16

later than August 3, 2018. See ECF No. 38. Defendant must retain new counsel if it intends to

17

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

18

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

19

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

20

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

21

September 3, 2018 to advise the Court if it will retain new local counsel. Failure to comply

22

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

Dated this 21st day of August, 2018.
