FURTHER ORDER RE: ATTORNEY
ADMISSION
(Re: Docket Nos. 1604, 1623)
18
The court has reviewed counsel’s declaration in response to the court’s question about her
19
standing to practice in this court. This declaration makes clear that the court’s records were in fact
20
accurate that counsel was not admitted in this district at the time she presented argument in support
21
of her client’s motion for an adverse inference jury instruction.
22
The court has previously alluded to the importance of bar admission in this district. And yet
23
it is not lost on the court that sometimes even highly-skilled advocates simply make mistakes
24
without any nefarious intent. Counsel’s declaration, with its explanation and apology, persuades
25
the court that this is one of those times. Under such circumstances, a further sanction would serve
26
no meaningful purpose. The court will simply trust that going forward compliance with the local
27
rules of this court and especially the orders of the presiding judge will not be an issue.
