GROSSE, J.

¶ 1 Administratively dissolved and cancelled limited liability companies are no longer legal entities and have no standing to prosecute a claim. Hence, Roosevelt, LLC and Steinvall Construction, Inc.'s (Steinvall) suit against third party subcontractors to recover sums the companies paid to settle a suit with a homeowners association for construction defects was properly dismissed. The judgment of the trial court is affirmed.1
