ORDER DIRECTING CLERK TO

ENTER DEFAULT AGAINST

DOUGLAS BUILT CONSTRUCTION,

INC. FOR FAILURE TO SHOW CAUSE

Defendants Joel Clayton Douglas and Douglas Built Construction, Inc. were previously

represented by counsel. On October 16, 2014, the Court heard Defendants’ counsel’s motion to

withdraw. At that time, the Court informed the Defendants that, while Mr. Douglas may represent

himself pro se, the local rules of this Court do not allow a corporation or other entity to appear as a

pro se litigant. Civ. L.R. 3-9(b). When the Court granted Defendants’ counsel’s motion to withdraw

on October 20, 2014, the Court ordered the entity Defendant, Douglas Built Construction, Inc. to

obtain counsel within ninety days or risk the entry of a default against it. Docket No. 41. In the

time since the Court’s Order, no attorney has entered an appearance in these matters on behalf of

Douglas Built Construction, Inc. 

On February 4, 2014, the Court ordered Douglas Built Construction Inc. to show cause as to

why the Court should not enter default against it. Docket No. 48. The Court’s Order required

Douglas Built Construction, Inc. to respond in writing by no later than February 18, 2015. Douglas

Built Construction, Inc. has failed to respond to the Court’s Order. Consequently, the Court orders

the Clerk to enter a DEFAULT against Defendant Douglas Built Construction, Inc. for plaintiff.

IT IS SO ORDERED.

Dated: February 24, 2015
