Judge: Melissa R. Mccormick, Case: A.P. v. Doe 1, Date: 2023-08-17 Tentative Ruling

Attorney Craig K. Vernon’s Motion to Appear Pro Hac Vice

Attorney Craig K. Vernon moves to appear pro hac vice for plaintiff A.P.  For the following reasons, the unopposed motion is granted.

The application is verified and/or supported by a declaration(s).  It properly sets forth the applicant’s residence and office addresses and California counsel’s contact information.  It states the applicant’s courts and dates of admission and attests to his good standing.  The application states there have been two prior applications in California state courts in the last two years.  Attorney Vernon attests in his supplemental declaration (ROA 99) that the motion has been served on the State Bar of California.  While neither the application nor the supplemental declaration states the application fee has been paid, Exhibit A to Attorney Vernon’s supplemental declaration states the State Bar of California “filed and approved” the application, which is sufficient evidence the fee has been paid.  Cal. R. Ct. 9.40(c)-(e).

Plaintiff to give notice.
