IN THE UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT

FOR THE NORTHERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA

ORACLE AMERICA, INC.,

Plaintiff,

 v.

GOOGLE, INC.,

Defendant. /

No. C 10-03561 WHA

ORDER DENYING PRO HAC

VICE APPLICATION OF

ATTORNEY LISA T. SIMPSON

The pro hac vice application of Attorney Lisa T. Simpson (Dkt. No. 1261) 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 New York” — 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 1, 2015. WILLIAM ALSUP
