ORDER DENYING PRO

Defendants.

The pro hac vice application of Attorney Stephen M. Rummage (Dkt. No. 19) is DENIED

18

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

19

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

20

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

21

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

22

identifies the state of bar membership — such as “the bar of Washington State” — is inadequate

23

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

24

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

25

submitted.

26
27

IT IS SO ORDERED.

28
Dated: July 28, 2016.
