IN THE UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT

FOR THE NORTHERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA

REGMON L. HAWKINS, on behalf of

himself and all others similarly situated

Plaintiff,

 v.

S2VERIFY.COM,

Defendant. /

No. C 15-03502 WHA

ORDER DENYING

APPLICATION FOR PRO HAC

VICE

The pro hac vice application of Pamela Q. Devata is DENIED for failing to comply with

Civil 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 (such as the Supreme Court of Texas). While the application fees do

not need to be paid again, the application cannot be processed until a corrected form is

submitted.

IT IS SO ORDERED.

Dated: September 8, 2016. WILLIAM ALSUP
