Si, Esquirette am I. The second issue is an interesting one. Just because an attorney is admitted to the state bar, does not mean he is admitted to the federal bar in that state.
Likely what the court is saying is that the attorney who signed that particular pleading needs to join the federal bar for that district. An alternative would be to file a pro hoc vice petition, where another attorney vouches for the non-bar-member attorney for the purposes of that case.
That’s very interesting. Thanks for the info. I have worked legal but am not an attorney or paralegal.
According to the paralegal’s declaration, a motion to be admitted pro hoc vice was already made (back in dec?).
something about the order doesnt pass the sniff test, or else it is all so rigged that they dont even care about pretending to make it sniff test passable.
i first read it a couple of hours ago, and again a few minutes ago, and it doesnt smell right now or then- not to mention I’ve NEVER seen an Order or OTSC begin by stating “Instead of”. that was a red flag from the literal first word.
this is bizarre.
I expect they should be working feverishly to put together papers to file by the deadline to create an appealable issue/record.
Please ping me if you hear of any subsequent developments.
