Last July, we wrote about a motion to withdraw as counsel that Judge Solis denied in his Galaxy Powersports case. There, Judge Solis denied the motion to withdraw and directed defendant’s counsel to respond to the plaintiff’s anticipated summary judgment motion.
On September 27, 2012, Judge Solis issued an Order (available here), granting the defendant’s counsel’s motion to withdraw and denying the plaintiff’s motion for summary judgment. Judge Solis ordered the defendant to obtain substitute counsel by October 5, 2012, noting that a corporation cannot represent itself pro se in federal court.
