IN THE UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT

WESTERN DISTRICT OF ARKANSAS

FAYETTEVILLE DIVISION

SIMMONS PREPARED FOODS, INC. PLAINTIFF

v. Civil No. 06-5235

BLUE RIBBON COMMODITY TRADERS, INC. DEFENDANT

O R D E R

Now on this 26th day of February, 2007, comes on for

consideration plaintiff's Motion To Strike Answer (document #5),

and the Court, being well and sufficiently advised, finds that

said motion is well taken. An artificial entity such as a

corporation cannot be represented in this Court by anyone other

than a licensed attorney. Rowland v. California Men's Colony, 506

U.S. 194 (1993). Defendant is a corporation, and the Answer filed

on its behalf was not filed by an attorney. The motion is,

therefore, granted, and pursuant to F.R.C.P. 12(f), defendant's

Answer is stricken from the record of this case, and held for

naught.

IT IS SO ORDERED.
