October 4, 2018 Filing 8 MOTION to Dismiss for Failure to State a Claim by Waffle House, Inc.. (Downs, Darrell)
October 2, 2018 Filing 7 TEXT ONLY ORDER denying #6 Motion to Appear Pro Hac Vice. The movant, Darrell W. Downs, is a member in good standing of the Arkansas bar and is licensed to practice before this Court, but he does not maintain an office in Arkansas. Local Rule 83.5(d) specifies that an attorney seeking admission pro hac vice shall designate a member of the bar who maintains an office in Arkansas, and with whom the Court and opposing counsel may readily communicate regarding the case. The Rule also contemplates that the Court, upon motion, may waive the local counsel requirement in certain cases. Mr. Downs does not maintain an office in Arkansas, and this Court is unfamiliar with him and his practice. Therefore, at this time, the Court declines to waive the local counsel requirement and permit attorney Jacob R. Daniel to be admitted pro hac vice without the appearance of local counsel. The Court may be inclined to revisit this matter and entertain a renewed motion in the future, after the Court becomes more familiar with Mr. Downs as he litigates this case. Signed by Honorable Timothy L. Brooks on October 2, 2018. (ee)
