ORDER granting the defendant CMA-CGM's #15 motion for order. The plaintiff shall obtain a licensed attorney to represent its interests in this matter and that attorney shall file an appearance on or before November 4, 2019, or the case will be dismissed. A corporation, which is "an artificial entity[,] cannot proceed pro se and any person who represents an artificial entity must 'be an attorney licensed to practice law before our courts.'" Villano v. Miller, 3:10-CV-1376 (KAD), 2019 WL 4279023 at *1 (D. Conn. Sept. 9, 2019) (citing Jones v. Niagara Frontier Transp. Auth., 722 F.2d 20, 22 (2d Cir. 1983)); see also Rowland v. California Men's Colony, 506 U.S. 194, 201 (1993)(citations omitted)("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."). "Where... a motion is made by a non-attorney on behalf of a corporate defendant who is not represented by counsel, the Court may not consider that motion." United Welfare Fund v. Amed, Inc., No. 13 CV 25 (DHR)(ETB), 2013 WL 1120831 at *1 (E.D.N.Y. Mar. 18, 2013) (citations omitted).
