IN THE UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT

FOR THE NORTHERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA

KYLE COOPER, et al.,

Plaintiffs,

 v.

THE PACIFIC GAS & ELECTRIC

RETIREMENT PLAN and EMPLOYEE

BENEFIT COMMITTEE OF THE

PACIFIC GAS & ELECTRIC

RETIREMENT PLAN,

Defendants. /

No. C 16-06355 WHA

ORDER DENYING PRO 

HAC VICE APPLICATION

The pro hac vice application of Attorney David Levine (Dkt. No. 32) is DENIED for

failing to comply with Local Rule 11-3. That rule 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 pro hac vice form from the district court website such that it identifies only the

state of bar membership — e.g., “the bar of New York” — is inadequate under the 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: January 31, 2017. WILLIAM ALSUP
