VIA EFILE AND ALSO VIA REGULAR MAIL TO DEFENDANTS

Dear Ms. Green and Mr. Morris:

At oral argument on July 24, 2015, the Court considered Defendant Lachelle

Green’s motion to dismiss and Plaintiff’s motion for summary judgment against both

Defendants. After considering the submissions of both parties, as indicated at the

conclusion of the motion hearings, the Court is denying Defendant Lachelle Green’s

motion to dismiss and is granting Plaintiff’s motion for summary judgment against

both Defendants. This letter more fully sets forth the Court’s reasoning for these

decisions.

As an initial matter, the Court notes that on August 25, 2014, the Plaintiff’s
1

 Transpolymer Indus., Inc. v. Chapel Main Corp., 582 A.2d 936 (Del. 1990) (holding,

“[w]hile a natural person may represent himself or herself in court even though he or she may not

be an attorney licensed to practice, a corporation, being an artificial entity, can only act through its

agents and, before a court only through an agent duly licensed to practice law.”).

Complaint was personally served on Defendants Lachelle Green individually, and

The Game Lounge Inc. through its registered agent Lachelle Green. On September

18, 2014, Lachelle Green filed an Answer pro se. The Answer, although purporting

to respond on behalf of both the individual and the corporate defendant, is only

cognizable as to Lachelle Green in her individual capacity. In Delaware, a

corporation must be represented by counsel in proceedings before this Court.1 To

date, no attorney has filed an entry of appearance on behalf of the Defendant, The

Game Lounge Inc. As such, the Plaintiff’s Motion for Summary Judgment is granted

as to the Defendant, The Game Lounge Inc. as unopposed.

As to Defendant Lachelle Green’s Motion to Dismiss, the Defendant’s motion

does not proffer a factual or legal basis for dismissing Plaintiff’s claims. It is

accordingly denied. 

Lastly, Defendant Lachelle Green did not file a written response to Plaintiff’s

motion for summary judgment. The Court, by letter, directed Defendant to file any

responses in opposition to that motion no later than November 19, 2014. As of the

date of the July 24, 2015 motion hearing, she did not file a response. Moreover,

Defendant Lachelle Green did not appear at the motion hearing on that date to

provide her position. Accordingly, Plaintiff’s motion for summary judgment

against Defendant, Lachelle Green, is also granted as unopposed.

It is the order of the Court that judgment is entered on behalf of Plaintiff and

against Defendants Lachelle Green and The Game Lounge Inc., jointly and severally,

in the principle amount of $28,028.71, together with attorneys’s fees in the amount

of $250, plus costs and post-judgment interest at the legal rate. 

IT IS SO ORDERED.
