ORDER AFFORDING APPLICANT FOR

ADMISSION PRO HAC VICE

OPPORTUNITY TO SUPPLEMENT

APPLICATION

Before the Court is applicant Veronica Abreu’s (“Abreu”) application to appear pro

hac vice on behalf of plaintiff, filed September 27, 2007.

In her application, Abreu states she is a resident of California. The Civil Local Rules

of this district provide that an applicant who resides in California is ineligible to appear pro

hac vice, unless the applicant has resided in California for less than one year, has

completed all required applications for admission to the State Bar of California, and has

officially registered to take or is awaiting the results of the California State Bar examination. 

See Civil L.R. 7-11(b). In her application, Abreu states she qualifies for the exception

because she has resided in California for less than one year. Abreu does not, however,

state that she has completed all required applications for admission to the State Bar of

California and has officially registered to take or is awaiting the results of the California

State Bar examination. Consequently, Abreu has failed to show she falls within the

Accordingly, Abreu will be afforded leave to file, no later than October 12, 2007, a

supplement to her application, advising the Court as to whether she has completed all

required applications for admission to the State Bar of California and has officially

registered to take or is awaiting the results of the California State Bar examination.

IT IS SO ORDERED.
