IN THE UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT
FOR THE DISTRICT OF MONTANA
MISSOULA DIVISION

MONTANA ENVIRONMENTAL
INFORMATION CENTER,

CV 15 -106-M-DWM

Plaintiff,

ORDER

vs.
U.S. OFFICE OF SURF ACE MINING,
an agency within the U.S. Department of
the Interior, et al,
Defendants
and
SIGNAL PEAK ENERGY, LLC,
Defendant-Intervenor.
Defendant-Intervenor Signal Peak Energy, LLC, moves for the admission of
Sarah C.S. Bordelon, John C. Martin, and Hadassah M. Reimer to practice before
this Court in this case with Brian M. Murphy to act as local counsel. The
applications appear to be in order.
Accordingly, IT IS ORDERED that the motions (Docs. 65, 66, and 67) are
GRANTED on the condition that Ms. Bordelon, Mr. Martin, and Ms. Reimer shall
do all their own work. That means that Ms. Bordelon, Mr. Martin, and Ms.
1

Reimer shall do their own writing, sign their own pleadings, motions, and briefs;
and appear and participate personally. Counsel shall take steps to register in the
Court's electronic filing system ("CM-ECF"). Further information is available on
the Court's website, www.mtd.uscourts.gov or from the Clerk's Office.
IT IS FURTHER ORDERED that this Order is subject to withdrawal unless
Ms. Bordelon, Mr. Martin, and Ms. Reimer, within fifteen (15) days of the date of
this Order, file notices acknowledging their admission under the terms set forth
above.
Given that Signal Peak already has seven counsel, including three pro hac
vice counsel, IT IS FURTHER ORDERED that within the same fifteen (15) day

period, Signal Peak shall withdraw three attorneys of its choosing. Increasing the
number of attorneys on this case risks disrupting the efficient administration of
this matter and communication between the parties.
