JAMES KING,
Plaintiff - Appellant,

BRIAN A. GOLDMAN, Trustee,
Defendant - Appellee.
Appeal from the United States District Court for the District of
Maryland, at Baltimore. Andre M. Davis, District Judge. (CA-05-
1726-AMD)
Submitted: May 18, 2006 Decided: May 25, 2006
Before WIDENER and WILKINSON, Circuit Judges, and HAMILTON, Senior
Circuit Judge.
Dismissed by unpublished per curiam opinion.
James King, Appellant Pro Se. Carl Steven Silverman, GOLDMAN &
GOLDMAN, PA, Baltimore, Maryland, for Appellee.
Unpublished opinions are not binding precedent in this circuit.
See Local Rule 36(c).
PER CURIAM:
James King appeals from the district court’s order
dismissing the appeal filed by King on behalf of Stanley James
Development Corporation. The notice of appeal to this court was
signed only by King, who is not an attorney. It is well settled
that a corporation cannot appear in federal court except through
its attorney. Rowland v. California Men’s Colony, 506 U.S. 194,
201-02 (1993). Accordingly, we dismiss the appeal. We dispense
with oral argument because the facts and legal contentions are
adequately presented in the materials before the court and argument
would not aid the decisional process.
DISMISSED
