Presently before the court is Springel and Fink, LLP’s motion to withdraw as counsel for
Rainbow Villas Condominium Association (Rainbow). (ECF No. 101.)
Having reviewed and considered the motion, and good cause appearing, the court will

16

grant the motion to withdraw and order Defendant Rainbow to retain a new attorney. Defendant

17

Rainbow is advised that because it is a corporation, it cannot represent itself and must be

18

represented by an attorney in this action. See In re Am. W. Airlines, 40 F.3d 1058, 1059 (9th Cir.

19

1994) (stating that “[c]orporations and other unincorporated associations must appear in court

20

through an attorney.”). Defendant Rainbow further is advised that failure to retain an attorney

21

may result in the imposition of sanctions under Local Rule IA 11-8.
