IN THE UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT

FOR THE NORTHERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA

SURETEC INSURANCE COMPANY,

Plaintiff,

 v.

A-1 SEPTIC CONSTRUCTION, INC.;

ROBERT D. PIDDOCK; and CAROLE J.

PIDDOCK,

Defendants. /

No. C 09-06095 JSW

ORDER TO SHOW CAUSE RE

MOTION TO WITHDRAW AS

COUNSEL FOR DEFENDANT A-1

SEPTIC CONSTRUCTION, INC.

The Court has received the motion filed by the Law Offices of James C. Schwartz to

withdraw from representation of Defendants A-1 Septic Construction, Inc., Robert D. Piddock

and Carole J. Piddock. The motion is scheduled to be heard on Friday, July 2, 2010 at 9:00 a.m. 

Accordingly, a response to the motion, if any, was due to be filed June 11, 2010. There has

been no response filed. A corporation cannot proceed pro se and there is no indication from the

current motion to withdraw as counsel for the corporation, A-1 Septic Construction, Inc., that

the company has any plans to replace counsel. Therefore, the Court HEREBY ORDERS

DEFENDANTS TO SHOW CAUSE as to whether the individual defendants intend to proceed

pro se, whether the corporate defendant intends to find alternate counsel and, if not, why default

should not be entered against A-1 Septic Construction, Inc. 

Defendants are ORDERED to file a written response by no later than June 29, 2010.

Current counsel for Defendants must serve this Order on Defendants, and proof of such service
