Defendants.

Case No. 19-cv-01495-HSG 

ORDER DIRECTING 

REPRESENTATIVE FOR PLAINTIFF 

TO APPEAR AT HEARING

Following the transfer of this case from the Eastern District of New York, counsel for 

Plaintiff Empresario En Desarrollo moved to withdraw as counsel. See Dkt. No. 74. The motion 

to withdraw is set for a hearing at 2:00 p.m. on July 30, along with the initial case management 

conference. See Dkt. No. 125.

“A corporation, unincorporated association, partnership or other such entity may appear 

only through a member of the bar of this Court.” See Civil L.R. 3-9(b). Accordingly, the Court 

ORDERS a representative for Plaintiff to appear at the July 30 hearing in person, to discuss the 

ability to retain substitute counsel if the motion to withdraw were granted. Counsel for Plaintiff is 

ORDERED to make all reasonable efforts to convey this order to his client. Counsel and the 

representative for Plaintiff shall appear at the hearing in person unless they file, and the Court 

grants, a request to appear by telephone containing an explanation of why they are unable to 

appear personally.

IT IS SO ORDERED.

Dated:
