ORDER DENYING PRO
HAC VICE APPLICATION
The pro hac vice application of Attorney David Levine (Dkt. No. 32) is DENIED for
18
failing to comply with Local Rule 11-3. That rule requires an applicant to certify that “he or
19
she is an active member in good standing of the bar of a United States Court or of the highest
20
court of another State or the District of Columbia, specifying such bar” (emphasis added).
21
Filling out the pro hac vice form from the district court website such that it identifies only the
22
state of bar membership — e.g., “the bar of New York” — is inadequate under the rule because
23
it fails to identify a specific court. While the application fee does not need to be paid again, the
24
application cannot be processed until a corrected form is submitted.
25
26
IT IS SO ORDERED.
