IN THE UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT

FOR THE NORTHERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA

DIVINIA CRUZ,

Plaintiff,

 v.

EXPERIAN INFORMATION

SOLUTIONS, INC., et al.,

Defendants. /

No. C 16-05676 WHA

ORDER DENYING PRO 

HAC VICE APPLICATION

The pro hac vice application of Attorney Ellen Silverman (Dkt. No. 47) is DENIED for

failing to comply with Local Rule 11-3. That rule requires an applicant to 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” (emphases added). 

Filling out the pro hac vice form from the district court website such that it identifies only the

state of bar membership — e.g., “the bar of Minnesota” — is inadequate under the 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: December 21, 2016.
