UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT

EASTERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA

On May 8, 2015, attorneys Gregory Coleman and Lisa White submitted applications to appear 

pro hac vice for Plaintiff. (Docs. 16, 17) Both demonstrate good standing in the courts of Tennessee

(Doc. 16 at 4; Doc. 17 at 4) and both have paid the fee for admission. However, both designate 

Jonathan Shub as counsel with whom the Court and opposing counsel may readily communicate. Id. 

Though this complies, technically, with Local Rule 180(b)(2)(iii), it does not truly comply with the 

intent of the provision. In any event, the Court has determined recently that Mr. Shub is not a member 

of this Court. (Doc. 18) As a result, the petitions do not comply with Local Rule 180(b)(2)(ii) [“The 

attorney shall also designate in the application a member of the Bar of this Court with whom the Court 

and opposing counsel may readily communicate . . .”]
