The Court notes that this case appears to be related to two other pending cases challenging
California Supreme Court rules and Federal District Court rules regarding admission of attorneys who
have not passed the California bar. See Giannini v. United States District Court for the Northern
District of California, C 12-4289 and Garcia v. California Supreme Court, C 12-4504.
