In re:
Case No. 22-10951 (CTG)

Post-Confirmation Debtors.
AMENDED ORDER REGARDING THE JUNEAU GROUP, LLC’S
RESPONSE TO DISALLOWANCE OF CLAIMS1
The Juneau Group, LLC, a legal entity, filed various proofs of claim against
several of the debtors in the above-captioned bankruptcy cases. Post-confirmation
debtors have objected to the allowance of those claims [D.I. 998]. In response, the
Juneau Group, LLC filed a document captioned “Response to Disallowance of Claim”
[D.I. 1006]. Separately, the Juneau Group has emailed to chambers a document that
is captioned “Motion to Compel: Request for Debtor Evidence” that has not been filed
on the Court’s docket.
In these pleadings, the Juneau Group, LLC seeks to proceed before this Court
without counsel. The pleadings are signed by Jacob Juneau, who appears to be the
principal of the Juneau Group. Earlier in this bankruptcy case, the Court observed
that unlike an individual, a corporate entity may not appear pro se, but only through
licensed counsel. See D.I. 583. See also Rowland v. Cal. Men’s Colony, Unit II Men’s
Advisory Council, 506 U.S. 194, 201-202 (1993) (“It has been the law for the better
1 This Amended Order replaces the earlier Order [D.I. 1007], which identified the incorrect document
as the one to be stricken from the record. The document identified in the prior order [D.I. 998] is
hereby restored to the docket on a nunc pro tunc basis. The Court apologizes to the parties for this
error.

part of two centuries, for example, that a corporation may appear in the federal courts
only through licensed counsel…. As the courts have recognized, the rationale for that
rule applies equally to all artificial entities.”). This Court is obliged to enforce that
principle. Accordingly, the objection filed by Mr. Juneau on behalf of the Juneau
Group, LLC at D.I. 1006 shall be stricken from the docket. The “Motion to Compel:
Request for Debtor Evidence” (which is attached as Exhibit 1 hereto for the
completeness of the record), to the extent it is otherwise before this Court, is similarly
stricken. If the Juneau Group, LLC wishes to respond to the objection to its proofs of
claim, it must do so through licensed counsel admitted to practice before this Court.
