IN THE UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT

FOR THE NORTHERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA

JEFF ANDERSON, ET AL.,

Plaintiffs.

 v.

GINA McCARTHY, ET AL.,

Defendants. /

No. C 16-00068 WHA

ORDER DENYING PRO HAC

VICE APPLICATION OF

ATTORNEYS KAREN CARR

AND STANLEY ABRAMSON

The pro hac vice applications of Attorneys Karen Carr and Stanley Abramson (Dkt. Nos.

35–36) are 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 fee does not need to be paid again, the

application cannot be processed until a corrected form is submitted.

IT IS SO ORDERED.

Dated: March 21, 2016.
