UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT

FOR THE EASTERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA

VANCES FOODS, INC.,

Plaintiff,

v.

SPECIAL DIETS EUROPE LIMITED, et 

al.,

Defendants.

No. 2:11-cv-2943 TLN CKD

ORDER

On April 9, 2015, findings and recommendations were filed recommending that plaintiff’s 

motion for default judgment be granted. On April 21, 2015, one day before the objection period 

was due to expire, defendant Eamon Cotter, proceeding in propria persona,1emailed the judicial 

assistant of the undersigned requesting an extension of time to file objections. The court has had 

the email docketed as a motion for extension of time.2 ECF No. 50.

 

1

 The court notes that the other remaining defendant is a corporation, and as such may not 

proceed pro se but must be represented by counsel in order to defend this action. See Rowland v. 

California Men’s Colony, 506 U.S. 194, 202 (1993) (“A corporation may appear in the federal 

courts only through licensed counsel.”); see also In re America West Airlines, 40 F.3d 1058 (9th 

Cir. 1994) (non-attorney members of partnership cannot appear on behalf of partnership).

2 Defendant is advised that the court will not accept any further email filings. All documents to 

be submitted to the court must be mailed to the Clerk of Court for filing. In light of defendant’s 

domicile in Ireland and the consequent delay in receiving the mailed copy of the court’s findings 

and recommendations, the court allows just this once the email request for an extension of time.
