`
`
`
`ORDER GRANTING MOTION TO
`STRIKE
`
`Re: Dkt. Nos. 600, 619
`
`IN RE CAPACITORS ANTITRUST
`LITIGATION.
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`Defendant Toshin Kogyo Co., Ltd. previously filed a motion to dismiss plaintiff’s
`
`complaint on December 4, 2014. Dkt. No. 430. The Court struck that motion without prejudice
`
`because defendant Toshin Kogyo, a corporation, may appear in this action only through an
`
`attorney authorized to practice before this Court, and the motion papers did not show that the filer
`
`of the motion satisfied that condition. Dkt. No. 457.
`
`Defendant Toshin Kogyo Co., Ltd. has filed a similar motion to dismiss the consolidated
`
`class action complaint, dated March 18, 2015. Dkt. No. 600. The motion suffers from the same
`
`deficiency, and the direct purchaser plaintiffs have moved to strike the motion on that basis. Dkt.
`
`No. 619 at 4-5. Plaintiffs also request that the motion be stricken because it “violates the Court’s
`
`Scheduling Orders, despite Toshin Kogyo having received adequate notice of applicable
`
`deadlines.” Id. at 5.
`
`The Court grants plaintiffs’ motion to strike (Dkt. No. 619) and strikes Toshin Kogyo’s
`
`second motion to dismiss (Dkt. No. 600). The Court refers Toshin Kogyo to Civil Local Rule 3-
`
`9(b), available at the Court’s website at http://cand.uscourts.gov/localrules/civil. That rule states
`
`that “[a] corporation, unincorporated association, partnership or other such entity may appear only
`
`through a member of the bar of this Court.” To be clear, the Court will not consider any
