This matter comes before the Court on “Plaintiff State of Oregon’s Motion for Relief

15

from Pro Hac Vice Requirements.” Dkt. # 57. The motion is DENIED. As is the norm in this

16

district, counsel who are not admitted to practice before the Court must submit an application to

17

participate in this case pro hac vice and must be represented by local counsel. See State of

18

Washington v. Trump, C17-0141JLR. Because Senior Assistant Attorney General Scott J.

19

Kaplan is a member of the Washington State Bar Association, he need not submit a pro hac vice

20

application. He may not, however, act as local counsel for purposes of LCR 83.1(d).
