ENTRY AND ORDER STRIKING ANSWERS OF DEFENDANTS NetEO,
INC. AND PASSIVE LLC
______________________________________________________________________________
The United States of America filed the Complaint in this matter against Defendants
Jamshid Moinzadeh (“Moinzadeh”), NetEO, Inc. and Passive LLC on March 4, 2013. (Doc. #1.)
All three Defendants purported to answer this Complaint in one document on May 20, 2013.
(Doc. #9.) However, in this purported answer, Defendants NetEO, Inc. and Passive LLC purport
to adopt the answer of Defendant Moinzadeh and this purported adoption is executed by
Moinzadeh.
This Court has no indication that Moinzadeh is licensed to practice law, and, while
individuals may represent themselves, business entities may not. Thus Defendants’ NetEO, Inc.’s
and Passive LLC’s answers are stricken because these Defendants are not represented by a
licensed attorney. Defendants NetEO, Inc. and Passive LLC are given until not later than sixty
(60) days following entry of this Order to properly answer the Complaint.

DONE and ORDERED in Dayton, Ohio this First Day of July, 2013.

s/Thomas M. Rose
