TRACI RIBEIRO, on behalf of herself and
all others similarly situated,

v.
ORDER DENYING PRO
HAC VICE APPLICATION
OF ATTORNEY JAMES
BRYAN WOOD

SEDGWICK, LLP,
Defendant.
/

15
16

The pro hac vice application of Attorney James Bryan Wood (Dkt. No. 5) is DENIED for

17

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

18

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

19

court of another State or the District of Columbia, specifying such bar” (emphasis added).

20

Filling out the pro hac vice form from the district court website such that it only identifies the

21

state of bar membership — such as “the bar of Illinois” — is inadequate under the local rule

22

because it fails to identify a specific court. While the application fee does not need to be paid

23

again, the application cannot be processed until a corrected form is submitted.

24
25

IT IS SO ORDERED.
