ANALISA TORRES, District Judge: On September 24, 2021, the Court directed Defendant Fordham Fulton Realty Corp. (“Fordham Fulton”) to inform the Court whether it had retained new counsel by October 8, 2021.

ECF No. 29. That submission is now overdue. By October 25, 2021, Fordham Fulton shall inform the Court whether it has obtained new counsel.

The Court reiterates that Fordham Fulton must appear through an attorney to continue defending itself in this action because a corporation is not permitted to appear in court unless it does so through a lawyer. See Pecarsky v. Galaxiworld.com Ltd., 249 F.3d 167, 172 (2d Cir. 2001).

SO ORDERED.
