UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT

EASTERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA

On September 22, 2014, this action was removed to this Court from the Kern County Superior 

Court. (Doc. 1) On that same date, the Clerk of the Court notified Plaintiff’s counsel, Ann Hendrix,

that she must be admitted to this Court. (Doc. 4) The Clerk directed Ms. Hendrix to seek membership 

and provided an application and instructions on how to proceed. Id. 

Indeed, the Court’s Local Rule 180(b) restricts practice in this Court only to members. 

However, Ms. Hendrix has failed to seek membership and Plaintiff has not substituted Ms. Hendrix 

with an attorney who is admitted to practice before this Court.
