Date Filed Document Text
December 12, 2020 Opinion or Order ORDER: The motion for extension of time to answer #8 is denied. First, as a general matter, a corporation may only appear in federal court through counsel, not pro se. "It has uniformly been held by the Second Circuit and all of the other circuits that the provisions of 28 U.S.C. 1654 prohibit a non-attorney individual from representing a corporation in the federal courts." Batac Dev. Corp. v. B&R Consultants, Inc., No. 98-CV-721, 2000 WL 307400, at *1 (S.D.N.Y. Mar. 23, 2000) (footnote omitted). While the stipulation here was signed by in-house counsel, namely Mark Mickiewicz, who could appear on behalf of Defendant, Mickiewicz is not admitted in the Eastern District of New York. Therefore, Mickiewicz cannot make an appearance or file joint motions in this Court absent admission to the bar of this Court or pro hac vice admission for the purposes of this case. Second, the parties seek to extend the deadline to answer after the time to do so has passed. The Clerk of Court entered a certificate of default #7 as to the Defendant on 11/24/2020. To file an answer, Defendant must file a motion that explains why, under the standards set forth in Enron Oil Corp. v. Diakuhara, 10 F.3d 90 (2d Cir. 1993), its default must be vacated and a belated answer is permissible. The motion does not address the Enron Oil factors and therefore the requested relief cannot be granted. So Ordered by Magistrate Judge Sanket J. Bulsara on 12/12/2020. (Altreuter, Sylvia)
