ORDER DENYING PRO
HAC VICE APPLICATION
OF ATTORNEY KIMBERLY
A. DOUGHERTY

The pro hac vice application of Attorney Kimberly A. Dougherty (Dkt. No. 31) is

16

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

17

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

18

or of the highest court of another State or the District of Columbia, specifying such bar”

19

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

20

only identifies the state of bar membership — such as “the bar of the Commonwealth of

21

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

22

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

23

until a corrected form is submitted.

24
25

IT IS SO ORDERED.
