ORDER DENYING
APPLICATION FOR PRO HAC
VICE

v.
JOEY C. GREENBERG, an individual; and
NICHOLAS CLAUSSEN, an individual,
Defendants.
/

The pro hac vice application of Michael J. Hofmann 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). An

21

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

22

inadequate under the local rule because it fails to identify a specific court (such as the Supreme

23

Court of Texas). While the application fees do not need to be paid again, the application cannot

24

be processed until a corrected form or application is submitted.

25

IT IS SO ORDERED.
