VALERIE CAPRONI, United States District Judge: WHEREAS on October 21, 2024, the Clerk of the Court issued a Certificate of Default, and Plaintiff filed a Proposed Order to Show Cause and Proposed Default Judgment, as to several Defendants in this matter, including Ryan Wear (Dkts. 77, 79–80); WHEREAS on October 23, 2024, Mr. Wear filed an answer to the Complaint, in which he represented that he intends to proceed pro se on his own behalf and “on behalf of entities owned by Ryan Wear as allowed by this Court” (Dkt. 86); and WHEREAS a corporation cannot proceed pro se in federal court; it can only appear in federal court if it is represented by an attorney. Iannaccone v. Law, 142 F.3d 553, 558 (2d Cir. 1998); see Rowland v. Ca. Men’s Colony, Unit II Advisory Council, 506 U.S. 194, 201–02 (1993). IT IS HEREBY ORDERED that, to the extent Mr. Wear wishes to represent himself in this matter, he must file a Notice of Appearance on the public docket not later than Monday, November 4, 2024. If such Notice is filed, Mr. Wear will no longer be in default and the litigation against him will proceed in the manner set forth by the Civil Case Management Plan and Scheduling Order (Dkt. 46). A form Notice of Appearance for pro se litigants is available on the Court’s website at https://www.nysd.uscourts.gov/node/829. Mr. Wear is strongly encouraged to review the resources available for pro se litigants in this District, including the Federal Pro Se Legal Assistance Project run by the City Bar Justice Center. An overview of these resources 1s available on the Court’s website at https://www.nysd.uscourts.gov/prose. IT IS FURTHER ORDERED that Mr. Wear’s request to represent “entities owned by Ryan Wear” is DENIED. Mr. Wear’s appearance in this case will not render any Defendant other than Mr. Wear out of default. The Clerk of the Court is respectfully directed to mail a copy of this order to Mr. Wear at 2732 Grand Avenue Suite 122, Everett, WA 98201.

SO ORDERED. \ Qe Date: October 28, 2024 VALERIE oR New York, New York United States District Judge
