Pro Hac Vice. An attorney not eligible for admission under Civil Local Rule 83.3.c, but who is a member in good standing of, and eligible to practice before, the bar of any United States Court or of the highest court of any state or of any territory or insular possession of the United States, who is of good moral character, and who has been retained to appear in this court, may, upon written application and in the discretion of the court, be permitted to appear and participate in a particular case. Unless authorized by the Constitution of the United States or acts of Congress, an attorney is not eligible to practice pursuant to this local rule if any one or more of the following apply to the attorney: (1) resides in California, (2) is regularly employed in California, or (3) is regularly engaged in business, professional, or other activities in California.

The pro hac vice application and admission card shall be presented to the clerk, along with a one time admission fee of two hundred and six dollars ($206.00). The application and admission card are available on-line and in the Clerk's Office. The application shall state under penalty of perjury (1) the attorney's residence and office addresses, (2) by what court(s) the attorney has been admitted to practice and the date(s) of admission, (3) that the attorney is in good standing and eligible to practice in said court, (4) that the attorney is not currently suspended or disbarred in any other court, and (5) if the attorney has concurrently or within one year preceding the current application made any pro hac vice application to this court, the title and the number of each matter wherein the application was made, and the date of application, and whether or not the application was granted. 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 regarding the conduct of the case and upon whom papers shall be served. The attorney shall file with such application the address, telephone number and written consent of such designee.

Although the $206 admission fee is required only once, a pro hac vice application is required for each case in which an attorney is pro hac vice.
