IN THE UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT

FOR THE NORTHERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA

MAQUET CARDIOVASCULAR LLC,

Plaintiff,

 v.

SAPHENA MEDICAL, INC., and

ALBERT CHIN,

Defendants. /

No. C 16-07213 WHA

ORDER DENYING PRO 

HAC VICE APPLICATION

The pro hac vice application of Attorney Margaret Ives (Dkt. No. 28) is DENIED. Local

Rule 11-3 requires an applicant to certify that “he or she is an active member in good standing

of the bar of a United States Court or of the highest court of another State or the District of

Columbia, specifying such bar” (emphasis added). Filling out the form from the district court

website with only the state of bar membership — e.g., “the bar of Massachusetts” — is

inadequate because it fails to identify a specific court. Attorney Ives’s application is also

missing her bar number and a date. While the application fee does not need to be paid again,

the application cannot be processed until a corrected form is submitted.

IT IS SO ORDERED.
