IN THE UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT

FOR THE NORTHERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA

IAC SEARCH & MEDIA, INC., a

Delaware corporation,

Plaintiff,

 v.

EVERYCLICK, LTD., a United Kingdom

company,

Defendant. /

No. C 09-05725 WHA

ORDER STRIKING ANSWER

Under Local Civil Rule 3-9(b), “[a] corporation, unincorporated association, partnership

or other such entity may appear only through a member of the bar of this Court.” Defendant

Everyclick, Ltd. recently filed a “defence and counterclaim,” signed by its Managing Director (a

signature is present, but it is unclear what name has been signed). There is no indication that this

person is a “member of a bar of this Court.” See Civ. L. R. 11-1. As such, the answer filed by

defendant is STRIKEN. Defendant should also be aware that default was entered against it on

March 4, 2010, and a motion for default judgment is now pending (Dkt. Nos. 7, 13). A hearing

on the motion for default judgment has been noticed for May 13, 2010. To avoid the entry of

default judgment, defendant must move to set aside the entry of default — in compliance with the

local rules of the Northern District of California and the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure — no

later than MAY 12, 2010.

IT IS SO ORDERED.

Dated: April 28, 2010. WILLIAM ALSUP
