IN THE UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT

FOR THE NORTHERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA

LIFESCAN, INC.,

Plaintiff,

 v.

 AMERICAN HEALTHCARE, INC., et al.,

Defendants. /

No. C 05-02016 JSW

ORDER OF CLARIFICATION

On January 23, 2007 and March 9, 2007, this Court issued orders holding that the

withdrawals by the former counsel of defendant American Healthcare, Inc. (“AHI”) and

Defendant Payless Wholesale, Inc. (“Payless”) were effective and directing Plaintiff to file

motions for default judgment. This Order is to clarify that when the Court issued these previous

orders, the Court entered default against AHI and Payless based on their failure to obtain

counsel. See Fed. R. Civ. Proc. 55(a); see also United States v. High Country Broadcasting

Co., Inc., 3 F.3d 1244, 1245 (9th Cir. 1993) (affirming entry of default judgment against

corporation that failed to retain counsel). The Court had advised both AHI and Payless that

because corporations cannot represent themselves, the failure to retain substitute counsel could

result in the Court entering judgment against them. Plaintiff is HEREBY ORDERED to serve

this Order
