(The above civil action number must appear on all future papers
sent to the court in this action. Failure to include this number

SCHMIER ENTERPRISE’S LLC,
Plaintiff,
v.
SENTINEL FIELD SERVICES, INC.,
Defendant.
ORDER DIRECTING PLAINTIFF TO CURE DEFICIENCIES
Plaintiff has submitted a Complaint that is signed by Jonathan Schmier, who
describes himself as Plaintiff’s registered agent. As part of the court’s review pursuant
to D.C.COLO.LCivR 8.1, the court has determined that the Complaint is deficient as
described in this order. First, Mr. Schmier may not represent Plaintiff in this action
because, “[a]s a general matter, a corporation or other business entity can only appear
in court through an attorney and not through a non-attorney corporate officer appearing
pro se.” Harrison v. Wahatoyas, LLC, 253 F.3d 552, 556 (10th Cir. 2001); see also Tal
v. Hogan, 453 F.3d 1244, 1254 (10th Cir. 2006). In addition, Plaintiff has not paid the
required filing fee. See Rowland v. Cal. Men’s Colony, 506 U.S. 194, 196 (1993) (“only
a natural person may qualify for treatment in forma pauperis under § 1915”). Plaintiff
will be directed to cure these deficiencies if Plaintiff wishes to pursue any claims in this
action. Accordingly, it is
ORDERED that Plaintiff cure the deficiencies designated above within thirty
(30) days from the date of this order. Any papers that Plaintiff files in response to this
order must include the civil action number on this order. It is
FURTHER ORDERED that if Plaintiff fails to cure the designated deficiencies
within thirty (30) days from the date of this order, the action will be dismissed
without further notice. The dismissal shall be without prejudice.
DATED March 21, 2013, at Denver, Colorado.
BY THE COURT:
s/ Boyd N. Boland
United States Magistrate Judge
