ORDER

THIS MATTER IS BEFORE THE COURT on Defendants’ “Motion For Admission
Pro Hac Vice and Affidavit” (Document No. 8) filed July 25, 2022. This motion has been referred
to the undersigned Magistrate Judge pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 636(b), and immediate review is
appropriate. Having carefully considered the motion and the record, the undersigned will deny the
motion without prejudice.
The undersigned is concerned that the pending motion and the docket of the case contain
incomplete and/or inaccurate contact information for the movant, John P. Fetner, and for the
applicant, Andrew Kamensky. In addition, the pending motion indicates that Defendants’ local
counsel and/or proposed pro hac vice counsel are members of the Defendant law firm McMichael
Taylor Gray, PLLC.
Based on the foregoing, the undersigned’s staff emailed counsel for both sides seeking
clarification on July 27, 2022. To date, our chambers has received no response from Plaintiff’s or
Defendants’ counsel.
