ORDER DENYING PRO
HAC VICE APPLICATION
OF ATTORNEYS MICHAEL
BRODY AND JOSHUA L.
COLLINS

15
16

The pro hac vice applications of Attorney Michael Brody (Dkt. No. 18) and Attorney

17

Joshua L. Collins (Dkt. No. 19) are DENIED for failing to comply with Local Rule 11-3. The

18

local rule requires that an applicant certify that “he or she is an active member in good standing

19

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

20

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

21

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

22

of Texas” — is inadequate under the local rule because it fails to identify a specific court. While

23

the application fee does not need to be paid again, the application cannot be processed until a

24

corrected form is submitted.

25
26

IT IS SO ORDERED.
