ON MOTION

ORDER

International Mulch Company and Michael Miller
move to dismiss the appeal because Green Edge Enter-
prises, LLC has no legal representation. International
Mulch Company and Michael Miller state that Green
Edge Enterprises, LLC opposes.

On July 20, 2011, the United States District Court for
the Eastern District of Missouri granted Green Edge
Enterprises, LLC’s counsel’s motion to withdraw as
counsel. No substitute counsel subsequently entered an
appearance in the case. Green Edge Enterprises, LLC’s
notice of appeal to this court is signed by Lee Greenberg,
"Managing Member" of Green Edge Enterprises, LLC and
no counsel has filed an entry of appearance for Green
Edge Enterprises, LLC.

Federal Circuit Rule 47.3(a) allows an individual to
represent himself or herself, but prohibits a corporation,
partnership, organization, or other legal entity from doing
so. See also In,t’l Inst. for Fundamental Studies, Inc. v.
United States, 222 Ct. Cl. 626, 630-31 (1980).

Upon consideration thereof,
It ls Ordered That:

(1) International Mulch C0mpany and Michael
Miller’s motion to dismiss is denied.

(2) New counsel for Green Edge Enterprises, LLC
shall file an entry of appearance within 60 days of the

of the appeal.
