Before RYAN and ALAN E. NORRIS, Circuit Judges, and JOINER, Senior District Judge*.

ORDER

2

This appeal has been referred to a panel of the court pursuant to Rule 9(a), Rules of the Sixth Circuit.

3

A review of the documents before the court indicates that the district court filed an order on October 31, 1990, denying Thomas Hochschild, defendant's president, leave to represent Crystal Window Cleaning Co., Inc. Crystal Window Cleaning Co., Inc., through its president, Hochschild, appeals that order.

4

The order denying Hochschild leave to represent the defendant is not a final appealable order. See Firestone Tire & Rubber Co. v. Risjord, 449 U.S. 368, 373 (1981); Catlin v. United States, 324 U.S. 229, 233 (1945). Even if such an order were appealable, a corporation must be represented by an attorney in federal court. See 28 U.S.C. Sec. 1654; Palazzo v. Gulf Oil Corp., 764 F.2d 1381, 1385-86 (11th Cir.1985), cert. denied, 474 U.S. 1058 (1986); Doherty v. American Motors Corp., 728 F.2d 334, 340 (6th Cir.1984); United States v. 9.19 Acres of Land, 416 F.2d 1244, 1245 (6th Cir.1969) (per curiam). Therefore, Hochschild is not permitted to file a notice of appeal on behalf of Crystal Window Cleaning Co., Inc.

5

It is ORDERED that the appeal be, and it hereby is, dismissed. Rule 9(b)(1), Rules of the Sixth Circuit.
