ORDER DENYING PRO
HAC VICE APPLICATIONS
/

15
16

The pro hac vice applications of Attorneys Thomas Carter, Michelle Eber, Scott

17

Partridge, and Thomas Rooney (Dkt. No. 42–45) are DENIED for failing to comply with Local

18

Rule 11-3. The local rule requires that an applicant certify that “he or she is an active member in

19

good standing of the bar of a United States Court or of the highest court of another State or the

20

District of Columbia, specifying such bar” (emphasis added). Filling out the pro hac vice form

21

from the district court website such that it only identifies the state of bar membership — such as

22

“the bar of Texas” — is inadequate under the local rule because it fails to identify a specific

23

court. While the application fee does not need to be paid again, the application cannot be

24

processed until a corrected form is submitted.

25
26

IT IS SO ORDERED.
