United States District Court

Northern District of California

UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT

NORTHERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA

STEPHANIE PAMINTUAN,

Plaintiff,

v.

BRISTOL-MYERS SQUIBB COMPANY, 

et al.,

Defendants.

Case No. 16-cv-00254-HSG 

ORDER VACATING PRO HAC VICE 

ADMISSIONS AND DIRECTING 

PLAINTIFF’S COUNSEL TO FILE 

AMENDED APPLICATIONS

Re. Dkt. Nos. 12 & 20

The Court previously granted two pro hac vice applications filed by Munir Meghjee and 

Megan McKenzie, counsel for Plaintiff Stephanie Pamintuan (“Plaintiff”). Dkt. Nos. 12 & 20. In 

their applications, Mr. Meghjee and Ms. McKenzie designated Gary Wilson as local counsel as 

required under Civil Local Rules 3-4(a)(2) and 11-3(a)(3). Mr. Wilson later filed a letter with the 

Court, stating that he believes his local counsel designation may be improper because he does not 

personally maintain an office in California, only his firm does. Dkt. No. 56. To help rectify this 

error, two members of Mr. Wilson’s firm who maintain an office in California filed a notice of 

appearance. Dkt. No. 55. The Court appreciates Mr. Wilson’s candor and professionalism. To 

resolve the issue, the Court hereby VACATES its earlier orders approving Mr. Meghjee and Ms. 

McKenzie’s pro hac vice applications, Dkt. Nos. 12 & 20, and DIRECTS those attorneys to file 

amended applications designating Mr. Wilson’s colleagues as local counsel by July 15, 2016.

IT IS SO ORDERED.
