UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT 

NORTHERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA 

NICOLE HUGHES, 

Plaintiff, 

v. 

S.A.W. ENTERTAINMENT, LTD, 

Defendant. 

Case No. 16-cv-03371-YGR 

ORDER TO SHOW CAUSE RE: APPLICATION 

OF SHANNON LISS-RIORDAN FOR 

ADMISSION PRO HAC VICE

Re: Dkt. No. 6 

Shannon Liss-Riordan, Esq., has filed an application for admission pro hac vice. (Dkt. No. 

6.) Rule 11-3(b) of the Northern District of California’s Civil Local Rules provides: 

Disqualification from Pro Hac Vice Appearance. Unless authorized by 

an Act of Congress or by an order of the assigned judge, an applicant is not 

eligible for permission to practice pro hac vice if the applicant: 

(1) Resides in the State of California; or 

(2) Is regularly engaged in the practice of law in the State of California. 

This disqualification shall not be applicable if the pro hac vice applicant (i) has 

been a resident of California for less than one year; (ii) has registered with, and 

completed all required applications for admission to, the State Bar of California; 

and 

(3) Has officially registered to take or is awaiting his or her results from 

the California State Bar exam. 

N.D. Cal. Civil L.R. 11-3(b). 

 The Court’s records indicate that Ms. Liss-Riordan is counsel in 12 cases filed in the 

Northern District of California, 10 of which have been filed in the last three years, and 9 of which 

are still pending at this time, including the instant action. The Court is not aware whether Ms. 

Liss-Riordan practices in other state or federal courts in the State of California. 

 Accordingly, Shannon Liss-Riordan is hereby ORDERED TO SHOW CAUSE why the Court 

should not deny her application for admission pro hac vice pursuant to Civil Local Rule 11-3(b).
