ORDER RE STIPULATED

AMENDED JUDGMENT

On December 5, 2006, the parties submitted a stipulated judgment. Defendant Comfort

Heating & A/C, a California Corporation, also known as Comfort Heating & Air Conditioning,

Inc. is not represented by counsel. The president of the defendant corporation, Anthony A.

Mello, signed the stipulation on its behalf. However, corporations may appear in the federal

courts only through licensed counsel. See Rowland v. California Men's Colony, Unit II Men's

Advisory Council, 506 U.S. 194, 202 (1993); see also Civ. L.R. 3-9 (“A corporation,

unincorporated association, partnership or other such entity may appear only through a member

of the bar of this Court.”). Therefore, the Court cannot accept the stipulation.
