IN THE UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT

FOR THE NORTHERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA

ELISE CLOUGHERTY,

Plaintiff,

 v.

 JOSEPH LONSDALE,

Defendant. /

No. C 15-00382 WHA

ORDER DENYING PRO HAC

VICE APPLICATION OF

ATTORNEY SARAH

VACCHIANO

The pro hac vice application of Attorney Sarah Vacchiano (Dkt. No. 42) 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 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 23, 2015.
