Currently before the Court are the applications of Meriel Darzen and Ralph Bloemers,

18 attorneys for Plaintiffs Earth Island Institute, Sequoia ForestKeeper, and Greenpeace Inc., for
19 their admission to practice Pro Hac Vice under the provisions of Local Rule 180(b)(2) of the
20 Local Rules of Practice of the United States District Court for this District. (ECF Nos. 56, 57.)
21 The Court has reviewed the applications and notes that both applicants have checked the box
22 indicating that they have concurrently or within the preceding year made a Pro Hac Vice
23 application to this Court. (Id.) However, the applicants do not list the case numbers for these
24 applications. (Id.) The Court conducted its own search of this Court’s records and found no
25 previous appearances by attorney Meriel Darzen, and only one previous Pro Hac Vice
26 application by Ralph Bloemers in the year 2012. Based on these facts and review of the
27 remainder of the submitted applications, the Court will grant the applications for admission. The
28 Court requests counsel to use more care in the future when filling out forms for the Court to

1 review.
Accordingly, Meriel Darzen’s and Ralph Bloemers’ applications for admission to
