# Case Name 1 All State Printing, Motion to Be Relieved as Counsel of Record LLC. vs. GSO Printing LLC The court GRANTS KOLMOGOROV LAW, P.C.’s unopposed Motion to Be Relieved as Counsel for Defendant GSO PRINTING LLC.

The court finds moving attorney meets the requirements set forth in Rule 3.1362 of the California Rules of Court. The orders shall not become effective until the filing of a proof of service showing service of the order on the client.

Re corporate party without an attorney:

The court notes that Defendant GSO PRINTING LLC may not appear without counsel. (See, e.g., CLD Construction, Inc. v. City of San Ramon (2004) 120 Cal.App.4th 1141, 1145 [“[U]nder a long-standing common law rule of procedure, a corporation, unlike a natural person, cannot represent itself before courts of record in propria persona, nor can it represent itself through a corporate officer, director or

other employee who is not an attorney.”]; Gamet v. Blanchard (2001) 91 Cal.App.4th 1276, 1284, n5 [“In California a corporation may not represent itself, except in a small claims proceeding. This prohibition stems from the notion a corporate representative who would likely appear on behalf of the corporation would be engaged in the unlicensed practice of law.”]. That the party is an LLC is of no moment, as the same rational applies to an LLC. An LLC has similar rights and responsibilities as a corporation – e.g., it is a separate legal entity with its own privileges and liabilities distinct from those of its members, it has the same rights as a corporation to sue and be sued in its own name, it must maintain an agent for service of process. (See Corp. Code, §§ 17701.01 et seq.)

As such, the court sets an Order to Show Cause Why the Answer of Defendant GSO PRINTING, LLC, Should Not be Stricken and Default Entered. The OSC is set for October 5, 2026, at 10:00 am in Dept. W08, to be heard with the currently scheduled Case Management Conference.

Moving attorney SHALL give notice and file a proof of service within 10 calendar days.
