Defendants’ California counsel, Grant L. Royal, has filed an application for pro hac vice status for Illinois attorney Bryan M. Westhoff. The declaration of this attorney filed in support of his applications for pro hac vice status complies with the requirements of Cal. Rules of Court Rule 9.40.  

Rule 9.40 states that an applicant’s application “must” state (1) the applicant’s residence and office address; (2) the courts to which the applicant has been admitted to practice and the dates of admission; (3) that the applicant is a licensee in good standing in those courts; (4) that the applicant is not currently suspended or disbarred in any court; (5) the title of each court and cause in which the applicant has filed an application to appear as counsel pro hac vice in this state in the preceding two years, the date of each application, and whether or not it was granted; and (6) the name, address, and telephone number of the active licensees of the State Bar of California who are the attorneys of record for the case. (Cal. Rules of Court Rule 9.40(d).)

Mr. Westhoff’s declaration contains all of the information required by Rule 9.40(d). The Court grants his application.

The attorney’s application to be admitted pro hac vice is granted.
