SHOW CAUSE ORDER

Plaintiff "T organization inc" has filed a pro so complaint alleging breach of contract regarding property in Bakersfield, California. Dkt. 1 at 5. The complaint states that "T organization inc" is both an Indiana corporation and individual. Id. at 2. However, based on the name and the complaint's numerous references to it as a "Corporation," id. at 5, "T organization inc" is clearly a corporation. Yet "corporations cannot proceed pro se." Trade Well Int'l v. United Cent. Bank,

825 F.3d 854, 860

(7th Cir. 2016). Indeed, "[a] corporation is not permitted to litigate in a federal court unless it is represented by a lawyer licensed to practice in that court." United States v. Hagerman,

545 F.3d 579, 581

(7th Cir. 2008). "T organization inc" is a corporation unrepresented by a lawyer licensed to practice here. As a result, Plaintiff shall have through November 20, 2020 for counsel to appear or otherwise show cause why the case should not be dismissed. SO ORDERED.
