United States v. 9.19 Acres of Land

This is an appeal of a condemnation award from the United States District Court for the Western District of Michigan, in which the Appellant received $100.00 from the Government for a taking of 9.19 acres of its land for an easement. The sole issues presented are: whether the District Court erred in refusing to allow the president of the Appellant corporation to represent the corporation pro se in the condemnation suit; or, in the alternative, whether it abused its discretion by refusing to grant a continuance in order that the Appellant might have time to retain counsel.
