IN THE UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT

FOR THE NORTHERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA

MAQUET CARDIOVASCULAR LLC,

Plaintiff,

 v.

SAPHENA MEDICAL, INC., and

ALBERT CHIN,

Defendants. /

No. C 16-07213 WHA

ORDER DENYING PRO 

HAC VICE APPLICATION

The pro hac vice application of Attorney Paul Popeo (Dkt. No. 29) 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” (emphasis 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 Massachusetts” — 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: January 17, 2017. WILLIAM ALSUP
