FEDERAL SOLUTIONS GROUP, INC.,

Plaintiff,

v.

H2L1-CSC, JV,

Defendant.

Case No. 4:17-cv-05433-KAW 

ORDER TO SHOW CAUSE TO 

PLAINTIFF FEDERAL SOLUTIONS 

GROUP, INC.

Re: Dkt. Nos. 74, 77

On October 4, 2019, the Court granted Plaintiff Federal Solutions Group, Inc.’s (“FSG”) 

counsel’s motion to withdraw as counsel, and gave Plaintiff 45 days to find substitute counsel, 

because corporations cannot appear in federal court except by counsel. (Dkt. No. 74 at 2.) 

Plaintiff was advised “that the failure to obtain new counsel or comply with Court orders may 

result in this case being dismissed for failure to prosecute.” Id. Former counsel filed a certificate of 

service on October 4, 2019, stating that FSG’s sole shareholder, Selina Singh, and key personnel, 

Manjinder Paul Singh and Kabir Singh, were served with a copy of the order. (Dkt. No. 75.) To date, 

Plaintiff has not filed a notice of substitution of counsel. 

On December 3, 2019, the Court held a case management conference, where Plaintiff did 

not appear. 

Accordingly, Plaintiff is ORDERED TO SHOW CAUSE, in writing, by no later than 

December 31, 2019, why it did not file a substitution of counsel by November 18, 2019 as 

ordered, and why the first amended complaint should not be dismissed for failure to prosecute and 

its answer to the amended counterclaim (Dkt. No. 24) stricken. Plaintiff shall also file a notice of 

substitution of counsel by December 31, 2019. The failure to respond to this order to show cause 

and to file a notice of substitution of counsel will result in the dismissal of the first amended
