No. C07-5777 BZ

ORDER SCHEDULING HEARING

On February 21, 2008, Bernt Wahl, “representing Factle

and self” filed a document titled in part “Relief from Claims

and Asserted Damages, etc.” The court treats this document as

a motion for relief from default under Rules 55(c) and 60(b). 

In order to facilitate the resolution of this case on its

merits, the court urges plaintiff to consider stipulating to

vacating the default judgment. 

If plaintiff will not, IT IS HEREBY ORDERED as follows:

1. Plaintiff’s opposition to defendants’ motion, if any,

shall be filed by March 19, 2008. 

2. Defendants’ reply, if any, shall be filed by March

26, 2008.

3. A hearing is scheduled for Wednesday, April 16, 2008

at 10:00 a.m. in Courtroom G, 15th Floor, Federal Building,

450 Golden Gate Avenue, San Francisco, CA 94102. 

However, prior to the hearing, defendant Factle must

retain counsel. Bernt Wahl as an individual may represent

himself. Factle is a corporation, which is a separate entity,

thus a separate defendant. “It is a long standing rule that

corporations . . . must appear in court through an attorney.”
