IN THE UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT

FOR THE NORTHERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA

FREESLATE, INC.,

Plaintiff,

 v.

CHEMSPEED TECHNOLOGIES AG and

CHEMSPEED TECHNOLOGIES, INC.,

Defendants. /

No. C 15-2233 WHA

ORDER DENYING PRO

HAC VICE APPLICATIONS

The pro hac vice applications of Attorneys Thomas Carter, Michelle Eber, Scott

Partridge, and Thomas Rooney (Dkt. No. 42–45) are DENIED for failing to comply with Local

Rule 11-3. The local rule requires that an applicant 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 pro hac vice form

from the district court website such that it only identifies the state of bar membership — such as

“the bar of Texas” — is inadequate under the local rule because it fails to identify a specific

court. 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.

Dated: December 23, 2015.
