Docket Item #2 . But the plaintiffs' attorney, Farah Hobballah, has not yet submitted a motion to appear pro hac vice, and it appears that she inadvertently forgot to attach proof of her admission to practice in Michigan to the motion to waive the local counsel requirement.

No later than 10/6/2023, Hobballah shall submit a properly supported motion to appear pro hac vice and evidence that she is admitted and licensed to practice in Michigan. Upon receipt of those documents, the Court will consider the motion to waive the requirement for local counsel. SO ORDERED. Issued by Hon. Lawrence J. Vilardo on 9/18/2023.
