December 6, 2022 Opinion or Order Filing 28 MINUTE ORDER IN CHAMBERS by Judge Otis D. Wright, II:On December 2, 2022, the parties filed a Stipulation, (Stip., ECF No. 26), indicating that the case has settled in its entirety. Accordingly, this action is placed on inactive status and the hearing on the Court's Order to Show Cause Re: Why Preliminary Injunction Should Not Be Issued is VACATED and taken off calendar. In light of the Stipulation, the Court finds good cause to extend the existing temporary injunction as to Defendants James E. Brumley, Jr. and Judith Brumley a further 14 days. (Order Granting Stip. Temporary Inj., ECF No. 24.) In addition, the Court finds the Stipulation provides good cause to enjoin the Brumleys from using the following website domains for 14 days: piptriad.com, ipgreensboro.com, pipburlington.com, pipsignsbanners.com, piptriadpromotions.com, and piptotalmarketing.com. By December 20, 2022, PIP and the Brumleys shall file a dismissal that complies with Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 41. Failure to timely comply with this order may result in the dismissal of this action as to the Brumleys. As to Defendant JB II Printing LLC, the Court cannot accept the Stipulation for a permanent injunction absent legal counsel for JB II Printing.Although James E. Brumley, Jr. signed the Stipulation on behalf of JB II Printing, Mr. Brumley has not provided a state bar number and does not appear to be an attorney. Although a non-attorney "may appear in propria persona in his own behalf, that privilege is personal to him." Further, a business entity cannot represent itself pro se in federal court. Accordingly, the Court ORDERS JB II Printing to retain legal counsel to represent it in this matter and to cause a status report to be filed in this matter by December 20, 2022 addressing its efforts to do so.
