ORDER DENYING PRO
HAC VICE APPLICATIONS
OF ATTORNEY LI CHEN AND
DWAYNE C. NORTON

The pro hac vice application of Attorneys Li Chen and Dwayne C. Norton (Dkt. Nos.

16

70–71) are DENIED for failing to comply with Local Rule 11-3. The local rule requires that an

17

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

18

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

19

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

20

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

21

under the local rule because it fails to identify a specific court. While the application fee does

22

not need to be paid again, the application cannot be processed until a corrected form is

23

submitted.

24
25

IT IS SO ORDERED.
