MCGRAW-HILL GLOBAL EDUCATION

Case No.16-cv-07316-JSW
ORDER TO SHOW CAUSE RE PRO
HAC VICE APPLICATION OF
CHRISTOPHER P. BEALL, ESQ.
Re: Dkt. No. 17
Defendants.
Christopher P. Beall, Esq., has filed an application for admission pro hac vice. This
Court’s Civil Local Rule 11-3(b) provides:
Disqualification from Pro Hac Vice Appearance. Unless
authorized by an Act of Congress or by an order of the assigned
judge, an applicant is not eligible for permission to practice pro hac
vice if the applicant:
(1) Resides in the State of California; or
(2) Is regularly engaged in the practice of law in the State of
California.
This disqualification shall not be applicable if the pro hac vice
applicant (i) has been a resident of California for less than one year;
(ii) has registered with, and completed all required applications for
admission to, the State Bar of California; and (iii) has officially
registered to take or is awaiting his or her results from the California
State Bar exam.
N.D. Cal. Civil L.R. 11-3(b).
24
With regard to whether Mr. Beall is regularly engaged in the practice of law in the State of
25
California, a search of this Court’s electronic filing system indicates that Mr. Beall is listed as an
26
attorney in 7 cases, including this case, filed in this Court between 2012 and the present. The
27
Court does not know whether Mr. Beall practices in other federal or state courts in the State of
28
1
2
California.
