Case No. 16-cv-03371-YGR 

ORDER DISCHARGING OSC AND GRANTING 

APPLICATION OF SHANNON LISS-RIORDAN 

FOR ADMISSION PRO HAC VICE

Re: Dkt. No. 6 

On July 25, 2016, the Court issued an Order to Show Cause (OSC) why the application of 

Shannon Liss-Riordan, Esq., should not be denied based upon the prohibition in Rule 11-3(b)(2) 

of the Northern District of California’s Civil Local Rules for applicants regularly engaged in the 

practice of law in the State of California. Plaintiff’s response and the Declaration of Shannon 

Liss-Riordan (Dkt. Nos. 14, 15) submit that Liss-Riordan falls into the exception in Rule 11-

3(b)(2) for an applicant who “(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). Liss-Riordan indicates she has 

completed all required applications for admission, has taken and passed the California Bar exam 

as of February 2016, and is awaiting approval of her Moral Character Application, which was 

submitted in May 2016. She indicates that she is a resident of Massachusetts, not California. The
