IN THE UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT

FOR THE NORTHERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA

WILLIAM GRECIA,

Plaintiff,

 v.

AT&T SERVICES, INC.,

Defendant. /

No. C 15-4360 WHA

ORDER DENYING PRO

HAC VICE APPLICATION

OF ATTORNEY TAYLOR

HIGGINS LUDLAM

The pro hac vice application of Attorney Taylor Higgins Ludlam (Dkt. No. 29) is

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 North Carolina” — 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: October 6, 2015.
