Case No.: 1:14-cv-01472 --- JLT
ORDER TO ATTORNEY ANN HENDRIX TO
SHOW CAUSE WHY SANCTIONS SHOULD
NOT BE IMPOSED FOR HER FAILURE TO
OBTAIN MEMBERSHIP WITH THIS COURT

17
On September 22, 2014, this action was removed to this Court from the Kern County Superior

18
19

Court. (Doc. 1) On that same date, the Clerk of the Court notified Plaintiff’s counsel, Ann Hendrix,

20

that she must be admitted to this Court. (Doc. 4) The Clerk directed Ms. Hendrix to seek membership

21

and provided an application and instructions on how to proceed. Id.
Indeed, the Court’s Local Rule 180(b) restricts practice in this Court only to members.

22
23

However, Ms. Hendrix has failed to seek membership and Plaintiff has not substituted Ms. Hendrix

24

with an attorney who is admitted to practice before this Court.

not be imposed for her failure to obtain membership with this Court as required by Local Rule 180(b).

Alternatively, within the same 14 day time period, Ms. Hendrix SHALL file the membership

4

application and pay the fee or withdraw from representation of Plaintiff in this action.
