ORDER DENYING PRO HAC
VICE APPLICATIONS OF
ATTORNEYS JEFFREY
ROSENTHAL AND DARRYL
STEIN

The pro hac vice applications of Attorneys Jeffrey Rosenthal and Darryl Stein (Dkt. Nos.

16

14–15) are DENIED for failing to comply with Civil Local Rule 11-3. The local rule requires

17

that an applicant certify that “he or she is an active member in good standing of the bar of a

18

United States Court or of the highest court of another State or the District of Columbia,

19

specifying such bar” (emphasis added). Filling out the pro hac vice form from the district court

20

website such that it only identifies the state of bar membership — such as “the bar of Texas” —

21

is inadequate under the local rule because it fails to identify a specific court (such as the

22

Supreme Court of Texas). While the application fee does not need to be paid again, the

23

application cannot be processed until a corrected form is submitted.

24
25

IT IS SO ORDERED.
