ORDER DENYING PRO HAC

Defendant.

The pro hac vice application of Alexander Williams is DENIED for failing to comply

18

with Civil Local Rule 11–3. The local rule requires that an applicant certify that “he or she is

19

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

20

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

21

the pro hac vice form from the district court website such that it only identifies the state of bar

22

membership — such as “the bar of Texas” — is inadequate under the local rule because it fails

23

to identify a specific court (such as the Supreme Court of Texas). While the application fees do

24

not need to be paid again, the applications cannot be processed until corrected forms are

25

submitted.

IT IS SO ORDERED.
