ORDER DENYING PRO HAC
VICE APPLICATION

ARIZONA CARDINALS FOOTBALL
CLUB LLC ET AL,

Defendant.

The pro hac vice applications of Steven Silverman and Phillip James Closius are

18

DENIED for failing to comply with Civil Local Rule 11–3. The local rule requires that an

19

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

20

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

21

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

22

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

23

under the local rule because it fails to identify a specific court (such as the Supreme Court of

24

Texas). While the application fees do not need to be paid again, the applications cannot be

25

processed until corrected forms are submitted.

26

IT IS SO ORDERED.
