Dear Counsel:

As you know, your names appear on the service list of a document filed with this Court in 

Case #20-CV-61003-RAR. Our records, however, indicate that you are not members of the 

Southern District of Florida Bar. Pursuant to Local Rule 4(b) of the Rules Governing the 

Admission, Practice, Peer Review, and Discipline of Attorneys, only members of the Bar of this 

District may appear as attorneys in this Court except when appearance pro hac vice is permitted 

by the Court. 

In order to appear and participate in a particular case in this Court, you must be an attorney 

who is a member in good standing of the bar of any United States Court, or of the highest Court 

of any State or Territory or Insular Possession of the United States. You are then required to file 

a written application, filed by counsel admitted to practice in this District, requesting permission 

to appear and participate in a particular case. A certification that you have studied this Court’s

Local Rules shall accompany the application. If permission to appear pro hac vice is granted, such 

appearance shall not constitute formal admission or authorize you to file documents via CM/ECF.

The Rule also requires that the application designate a member of the Bar of this Court 

who is authorized to file through the Court’s electronic filing system, to act as local counsel with 

whom the Court and opposing counsel may readily communicate regarding the conduct of the 

case, upon whom filings shall be served, who shall be required to electronically file and serve all 

documents and things that may be filed and served electronically, and who shall be responsible for 

filing and serving documents in compliance with the CM/ECF Administrative Procedures. The 

Rule further requires that the application be accompanied by a written statement from local counsel 

consenting to the designation, and the address and telephone number of local counsel. 

An attorney who is granted a pro hac vice appearance will not be permitted to register as a 

CM/ECF User in this District but may access the electronic record through the PACER System 

(see Section 7B of the Administrative Procedures on our website [www.flsd.uscourts.gov]). 

Attorneys so admitted will be required to electronically file and serve all documents through 

their local counsel. An application to appear pro hac vice must be filed by local counsel, along 

with the applicable filing fee, via CM/ECF. Although attorneys granted pro hac vice appearance 

will not be permitted to file electronically, they will be able to electronically receive Notices of 

Electronic Filing. Such requests should be included in your application to appear pro hac vice and 

in the accompanying proposed order. The e-mail address for the attorney(s) seeking admission

must be provided in both the motion and proposed order in order to receive electronic notices. 

Case 0:20-cv-61003-RAR Document 12 Entered on FLSD Docket 05/22/2020 Page 1 of 3
Administrative Order 2020-9 provides that an admissions fee of $200.00 is to be paid by every 

attorney petitioning the Court to appear and participate in a particular case under Rule 4(b).

A form motion for appearance pro hac vice can be downloaded from our website at 

www.flsd.uscourts.gov, Attorney Resources, Pro Hac Vice Appearance. If you have any 

questions, you may contact Attorney Admissions at (305) 523-5265 or the CM/ECF Help Desk at 

(888) 318-2260.

Sincerely,

ANGELA E. NOBLE
