v.
ORDER DENYING PRO
HAC VICE APPLICATION
OF ATTORNEY LARS ALTMAN

PETROLEA OIL CORPORATION,
Defendant.
/

15
16

The pro hac vice application of Attorney Lars Altman (Dkt. No. 22) is DENIED for failing

17

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

18

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

19

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

20

the pro hac vice form from the district court website such that it only identifies the state of bar

21

membership — such as “the bar of Florida” — is inadequate under the local rule because it fails

22

to identify a specific court. While the application fee does not need to be paid again, the

23

application cannot be processed until a corrected form is submitted.

24
25

IT IS SO ORDERED.
