SPECIAL SHOW CAUSE MOTION TO ADMIT GOVERNMENT ATTORNEY TO
PRACTICE IN THE DISTRICT OF NEVADA FOR DURATION OF ATTORNEY’S
GOVERNMENT EMPLOYMENT
Pursuant to LR IA 10-3, the United States of America respectfully requests that this honorable

22

Court admit Government attorney Jonathan M. Hauck to practice in the District of Nevada for the

23

above-captioned case and in all matters in this district during the period of employment by the United

24

States. Rule IA 10-3 provides:

25
26

Unless otherwise ordered by the Court, any nonresident attorney who is a member in good
standing of the highest court of any state, commonwealth, territory, or the District of Columbia,
who is employed by the United States as an attorney and, while being so employed, has

2

occasion to appear in this Court on behalf of the United States, shall, upon motion of the United
States Attorney or the Federal Public Defender for this district or one of the assistants, be
permitted to practice before this court during the period of such employment.

3

Jonathan M. Hauck is an attorney with the United States Department of Justice, Tax Division,

4

an agency of the federal government, and is a member in good standing of the state bar of the District

5

of Columbia (No. 482831).

6

In addition, the “conduct of litigation in which the United States, an agency, or officer thereof

7

is a party, or is interested, and securing evidence therefor, is reserved to officers of the Department of

8

Justice, under the discretion of the Attorney General.” 28 U.S.C. § 516. In addition, pursuant to 28

9

U.S.C. § 515(a), the Attorney General or any other officer of the Department of Justice is authorized to

10

conduct any kind of legal proceeding, civil or criminal, which United States Attorneys are authorized

11

to conduct, “whether or not he is a resident of the district in which the proceeding is brought.” Further,

12

any officer of the Department of Justice may be sent by the Attorney General to any judicial district in

13

the United States “to attend to the interests of the United States in a suit pending in a court of the

14

United States, . . . or to attend to any other interest of the United States.” 28 U.S.C. § 517.

15

Pursuant to these statutory authorities, the Attorney General has delegated litigation authority

16

to the Assistant Attorney General for the Civil Division, 28 C.F.R., Subpart I, including the defense of

17

“challenged actions of Government agencies and officers, . . .”. 28 C.F.R. § 0.45(h).

18

While these statutory and legal authorities ordinarily establish the basis for a Department of

19

Justice, Tax Division attorney to appear on behalf of the United States in any federal court, on June 6,

20

2012, this Court gave notice to the First Assistant U.S. Attorney for the United States Attorney’s

21

Office for the District of Nevada that the Court “will no longer grant pro hac recognition to

22

Washington D.C. Justice Attorneys without a special show cause that they will comply with court

23

orders, local ethical rules and the rules of the State Bar of Nevada.” (United States of America v.

24

Estate of E. Wayne Hage, et al., 2:07-cv-01154-RCJ-VCF; ECF # 336 at 2). In light of that notice, the

25

United States attaches the Declaration of Jonathan M. Hauck, which attests that Mr. Hauck will

26

comply with court orders, local ethical rules, and the rules of the State Bar of Nevada.
