ORDER DENYING MOTION TO APPEAR PRO HAC VICE
This matter is before the Court on the Motion of Diana Waterous Centorino, Esq., to appear
pro hac vice as co-counsel for Defendants Vlanco Industries, LLC, and G-Tech-I, Inc. [D.E. 41].
Ms. Centorino certifies that she is a member in good standing of the Florida state bar but not a
member of the bar of this Court. D.E. 41 at 4. However, the Court notes that Ms. Centorino also
resides and practices within this District. Rule 4 of the Special Rules Governing the Admission and
Practice of Attorneys before this Court specifically provide that “[a]ttorneys residing and practicing
within this District are expected to be members of the bar of this Court.” Ms. Centorino has not
demonstrated why the Court should depart from this rule in her case, and therefore, the Court
DENIES her pro hac vice motion.
DONE and ORDERED at Fort Lauderdale, Florida, this 7th day of December 2012.
