OPINION EQUAL EMPLOYMENT OPPORTUNITY COMMISSION, Plaintiff, v. L.A. PIPELINE CONSTRUCTION COMPANY, INC., Defendant. ORDER EDMUND SARGUS JR., District Judge By Order dated August 27, 2010, the Court granted Defendant's Counsel leave to withdraw, and vacated the trial date then set for October 12, 2010. (Doc. 71.) The trial in this matter was subsequently rescheduled to February 28, 2011. (Doc. 72.) Defendant, however, has yet to have new counsel enter an appearance on its behalf. Corporations are prohibited from proceeding in federal court without counsel. See Rowland v. Cal. Men's Colony, Unit II Men's Advisory Council, 506 U.S. 194, 201-02 (1993) ("It has been the law for the better part of two centuries . . . that a corporation may appear in the federal courts only through licensed counsel.") Accordingly, Defendant must obtain new counsel within ten (10) days of the date of this Order. If Defendant fails to do so, the Court will grant Plaintiff's motion for an entry of default (Doc. 78). The clerk is directed to send Defendant a copy of this order via certified mail. IT IS SO ORDERED. 2-1-2011 DATED
