Filing 15
ENDORSED ORDER: Defendant Purnata Enterprises, Inc. has now filed a pro se letter as its answer to the complaint, claiming that it is not the entity at which Plaintiff was previously employed. (Doc. #14). Such pro se filing on behalf of a corporate entity is impermissible. "The rule is well established that a corporation is an artificial entity that can act only through agents, cannot appear pro se, and must be represented by counsel." Palazzo v. Gulf Oil Corp., 764 F.2d 1381, 1385 (11th Cir. 1985). Accordingly, the Clerk is directed to strike the answer. (Doc. #14). A proper answer must be filed by counsel for Purnata Enterprises. Given the allegations in the stricken answer, the Court also urges Plaintiff to review whether Purnata Enterprises is the correct Defendant for this action and, if not, to promptly amend the complaint to name the proper party. The Clerk is directed to promptly mail a copy of this order to Purnata Enterprises' address listed in the answer. Signed by Judge Virginia M. Hernandez Covington on 1/17/2025. (DMD)
