ORDER DENYING PRO
HAC VICE APPLICATION

ARIZONA CARDINALS FOOTBALL
CLUB, LLC, et al.,
Defendants.
/

16
17

The pro hac vice application of Attorney Marla Axelrod (Dkt. No. 159) is DENIED for

18

failing to comply with Local Rule 11-3. That rule requires an applicant to certify that “he or

19

she is an active member in good standing of the bar of a United States Court or of the highest

20

court of another State or the District of Columbia, specifying such bar” (emphasis added).

21

Filling out the pro hac vice form from the district court website such that it identifies only the

22

state of bar membership — e.g., “the bar of District of Columbia” — is inadequate under the

23

rule because it fails to identify a specific court. While the application fee does not need to be

24

paid again, the application cannot be processed until a corrected form is submitted.

25
26

IT IS SO ORDERED.
