ORDER GRANTING EX PARTE

APPLICATION FOR WITHDRAWAL

FROM REPRESENTATION AND FOR

EXTENSION OF TIME FOR

DEFENDANTS TO RESPOND TO

MOTION TO ENFORCE; TERMINATING

APPLICATION OF ELECTRONIC CASE

FILING PROGRAM TO ACTION

(Docket No. 34)

Before the Court is the motion filed March 27, 2007 by defendants’ counsel, seeking

to withdraw from representation of defendants, as well as an extension of time for

defendants to respond to plaintiffs’ motion to enforce settlement.

As all defendants have stipulated to the proposed withdrawal of defendants’ counsel,

the motion to withdraw is hereby GRANTED. Defendants are advised, however, that

corporate defendants Cofab Steel Corporation (“Cofab”) and Arcmatic Integrated Systems,

Inc. (“Arcmatic”) may not appear in the instant action without counsel. See Rowland v.

California Men's Colony, Unit II Men's Advisory Council, 506 U.S. 194, 202 (1993) (noting

“a corporation may appear in the federal courts only through licensed counsel”). 

As the Court has granted the motion to withdraw, and defendants Cofab and

Arcmatic may not appear without counsel, good cause has been shown for the requested

two-week extension of time for defendants to respond to plaintiffs’ motion to enforce

settlement, which has been noticed for hearing May 4, 2007. Accordingly, the deadline for

defendants to oppose the motion is hereby EXTENDED from April 13, 2007 to April 27,

2007; the deadline for plaintiffs to file a reply is EXTENDED from April 20, 2007 to May 4,

2007; and the hearing on the motion to withdraw is hereby CONTINUED from May 4, 2007

to May 18, 2007 at 9:00 a.m.

Defendants’ counsel shall serve a copy of this order on each of the defendants. 

Unless and until defendants obtain new counsel, future correspondence for all defendants

may be sent, in accordance with the proposed order submitted by defendants’ counsel, to

the following address:

Attn: Charles A. Bock

1971 Broadway Street

Vallejo, CA 94589

Tel.: 707-643-5517

Fax: 707-643-2652

Because defendants are no longer represented by counsel, the Court hereby

terminates application of the Electronic Case Filing program to the instant action. Any

further documents filed in the action shall be filed with the Clerk of the Court on paper

rather than electronically.

This order terminates Docket No. 34.

IT IS SO ORDERED.

Dated: March 28, 2007
