ORDER
This cause is before the undersigned on the motion for admission pro hac vice of
Robert H. Sprain, Jr. (Doc. 176). Inasmuch as Mr. Sprain is admitted to practice before the
Supreme Court of Alabama and is in good standing (see id., Application for Admission to
Practice), he is INVITED to join the Bar of this Court. See SD ALA LR 83.5(b)(1) & (2)
(“Any attorney who is admitted to practice before the Supreme Court of Alabama and who
is in good standing, may be admitted to the Bar of this Court upon submission of an
application, payment of the prescribed admission fee, and (1) the order of a district judge
of this Court, on oral or written motion by a member of the Bar of this Court or on the
court’s own motion, and the administering of the prescribed oath before any district judge,
or other designee of this Court; or (2) the filing of a certificate of good standing from the
clerk of the United States District Court located within the State of Alabama for the
district in which the applicant resides or regularly practices law.”). His present request for

admission pro hac vice (Doc. 176) is TEMPORARILY GRANTED until such time as he
completes the admission process. In the event that Mr. Sprain has not been admitted to
the Bar of this Court by May 23, 2011, he shall show cause, not later than June 6, 2011,
as to why he should not be removed as counsel. That portion of the local rule upon which
Mr. Sprain relies in this motion was intended to provide non-members of the Alabama Bar
(usually out-of-state attorneys) a limited opportunity to appear in a particular case. See
SD ALA LR 83.5(c).
DONE and ORDERED this the 18th day of April, 2011.
