Plaintiff,

v.
CONAGRA FOODS, INC.,
ORDER DENYING PRO HAC
VICE APPLICATION OF
ATTORNEY ANGELA SPIVEY
Defendant.
/
14
15
The pro hac vice application of Attorney Angela Spivey (Dkt. No. 11) is DENIED for
16
failing to comply with Civil Local Rule 11-3. The local rule requires that an applicant certify
17
that “he or she is an active member in good standing of the bar of a United States Court or of the
18
highest court of another State or the District of Columbia, specifying such bar” (emphasis
19
added). Filling out the pro hac vice form from the district court website such that it only
20
identifies the state of bar membership — such as “the bar of Texas” — is inadequate under the
21
local rule because it fails to identify a specific court (such as the Supreme Court of Texas).
22
While the application fee does not need to be paid again, the application cannot be processed
23
until a corrected form is submitted.

25
IT IS SO ORDERED.
