March 28, 2023 Filing 24 MINUTE ORDER IN CHAMBERS of the Honorable Judge Cristina D. Silva on 3/28/2023. On March 10, 2023, I deferred ruling on the verified petition to practice pro hac vice by Gregory Haroutunian (ECF No. #14 ) because it did not comply with LR IA 11-2(b)(3), requiring a certificate of good standing from the state bar of every state in which the applicant has been admitted to practice law. ECF No. 15. Counsel was given until April 7, 2023, to file a corrected image attaching the missing certificates. Id. On March 23, 2023, the petitioner provided the certificates of good standing from California and New York but not from New Jersey. Because a screenshot of the website does not satisfy the requirements under the local rules, counsel is again advised to obtain the required certification and refile a second amended petition using the "Notice of Corrected Image/Document" event to link it to the existing filing (ECF No. #14 ). Counsel has until April 7, 2023, to do so. (no image attached) (Copies have been distributed pursuant to the NEF - JLB)

I defer ruling on the verified petitions to practice pro hac vice (ECF Nos. #2 , #14 ) because they do not comply with LR IA 11-2(b)(3). Counsel failed to attach the required "certification issued within six months before the date of filing of the verified petition [showing] that the applicant's membership is in good standing from the state bar or from the clerk of court of the supreme court or highest admitting court of every state, territory, or insular possession of the United States in which the applicant has been admitted to practice law."
