Thu 03/13 4:19 PM
MINUTES (Text Only) for MOTION HEARING held via video conference before Magistrate Judge Sean C. Riordan on 3/13/2025. Plaintiff's motion for default judgment (ECF No.11 ) came for hearing on March 13, 2025. Plaintiff's counsel, Jonathan Turner, present. Two officers from Defendant SCC Pallets, Inc. ("SCC") were present: Sergio Colin, CEO, and Sylvia Valdez, CFO. The Court advised that a corporation cannot appear pro se. See United States v. High Country Broad. Co., 3 F.3d 1244, 1245 (9th Cir. 1993) ("A corporation may appear in federal court only through licensed counsel."); see also E.D. Cal. Local Rule 183 ("A corporation or other entity may appear only by an attorney."). Mr. Colin and Ms. Valdez advised that they are attempting to obtain counsel and had a meeting set for next week with potential counsel. IT IS HEREBY ORDERED that SCC enter an appearance through counsel and file a status report by no later than March 31, 2025 . Counsel for SCC should meet and confer with Plaintiff's counsel in advance of March 31 to determine if the parties can agree as to how the matter should proceed. The status report shall address whether SCC intends to contest the motion for default judgment, and, if so, how promptly an opposition brief may be filed. In the event the parties do not agree on how the matter should proceed, Plaintiff may file its own status report no later than April 7, 2025 . The Court will then issue an order on further proceedings. Court Reporter: ECRO. (Deputy Clerk SH) |
