IN THE UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT

FOR THE NORTHERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA

STRAIGHT PATH IP GROUP, INC.,

Plaintiffs,

 v.

AVAYA INC.,

Defendants. /

No. C 16-03459 WHA

ORDER DENYING PRO

HAC VICE APPLICATIONS

OF ATTORNEYS CHRISTOPHER

O. GREEN AND NOAH

GRAUBART

The pro hac vice applications of Attorney Christopher O. Green (Dkt. No. 17) and Noah

Graubart (Dkt. No. 18) 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 Georgia”

— 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: July 19, 2016. WILLIAM ALSUP
