IN THE UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT

FOR THE NORTHERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA

THERANOS INC.,

Plaintiff,

 v.

BECTON DICKINSON AND COMPANY,

Defendant. /

AND RELATED COUNTERCLAIM.

 /

No. C 14-04880 WHA

ORDER DENYING APPLICATION

FOR ADMISSION OF ATTORNEY

PRO HAC VICE

The pro hac vice application of Attorney David Donahue is DENIED for failing to

comply with 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.” Filling out the pro hac vice

form from the district court website such that it only identifies the state of bar membership —

such as “New York” — is inadequate under the local 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: April 29, 2015. WILLIAM ALSUP
