ORDER ADOPTING REPORT & RECOMMENDATION
ROSLYNN R. MAUSKOPF, District Judge.
On July 10, 2014, the Honorable Joan M. Azrack issued a Report and Recommendation ("R&R") recommending that this Court dismiss this action in light of Asif Dhanani's repeated failures, despite multiple warnings, to obtain counsel on behalf of the plaintiff corporation. (See Doc. No. 14.) Magistrate Judge Azrack reminded plaintiff that, pursuant to Rule 72(b), any objections to the R&R were due by July 24, 2014. No objections have been filed.
A corporation may appear in court only through licensed counsel. See Lattanzio v. COMTA, 481 F.3d 137, 140 (2d Cir. 2007). Castleton Grocery may not proceed prose, and Asif Dhanani is not a licensed attorney. Pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 636(b) and Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 72, the Court has reviewed the R&R for clear error and, finding none, concurs with and adopts the R&R in its entirety. See Covey v. Simonton, 481 F.Supp.2d 224, 226 (E.D.N.Y. 2007).
Accordingly, it is hereby ORDERED that this action is dismissed without prejudice, and the Clerk of the Court is directed to close this case. The Clerk of the Court is further directed to mail a copy of this Order, together with the accompanying Judgment, to Asif Dhanani at the address listed on the docket, and to note the mailing on the docket.
