July 16, 2019 Filing 10 Certificate of Good Standing for Attorney Adam J. Kress filed by Andy Garland Anderson re: #8 . (Clark, Collen) Modified Title and link on 7/16/2019 (nhp).
July 16, 2019 Filing 9 ADVISORY TO COUNSEL: Your application for admission pro hac vice #8 is deficient. As the court's application for admission form indicates at IV, you must attach to your application an original certificate of good standing issued within the past 90 days from the attorney licensing authority in a state in which you are admitted to practice (e.g., State Bar of Texas). A certificate of good standing from another federal court, such as a United States district court, is insufficient. Please make a separate electronic filing that contains the required certificate of good standing (you do not have to resubmit the remainder of the application). Once you make this filing, your application for admission pro hac vice will be acted on. The court does not suggest that the designated local counsel qualifies under LR 83.10(a) because, under that Rule, local counsel must reside or maintain the attorney's principal office in this district, and the attorney's residence or principal office must be located within 50 miles of the courthouse in the division in which the case is pending. (Senior Judge Sidney A. Fitzwater).
