ORDER

Pending before the Court are three Motions for Special Admission [# 3, #4,
& # 6] filed by counsel for Plaintiff. Plaintiff moves for the special admission of
three attorneys pursuant to Local Rule 83.1(B). As a threshold matter, Local Rule
83.1(B) addresses neither pro hac vice nor special admissions, both are governed
by Local Rule 83.1(D). Additionally, although the motions request the special
admission of the three attorneys, it appears that the actual relief sought is pro hac
vice admission because the attorneys have associated with local counsel.
Accordingly, the Court will construe the pending motions as requests for pro hac
vice admission as opposed to the requests for special admission.
Upon a review of the motions, it appears that William R. Wildman, Joshua
A. Mayers, and James R. McGibbon are all members in good standing with the
Georgia Bar and will be appearing with E. Thomas Holman, a member in good

standing with the Bar of this Court. In addition, each of the attorneys has paid the
requisite admission fees. Accordingly, the Court GRANTS the Motions [# 3, # 4,
& # 5]. The Court ADMITS William R. Wildman, Joshua A. Mayers, and James
R. McGibbon to practice pro hac vice before the Court while associated with local
counsel.
