Declaration of moving party: Application verified
OPPOSITION:
No Opposition
ANALYSIS:
There is one irregularity with this application. The application does not provide the applicant’s residence address. The application states that attorney Ireland “resides in Charlotte, North Carolina,” and provides “contact information,” consisting of the attorney’s law firm address. [Application, paras. 1, 5].
Under CRC Rule 9.40(d):
“The application must state:
(1) The applicant's residence and office address…”
The Court accordingly requires that a declaration under oath or a verified supplement to the application be submitted at or before the hearing stating the residence address of the applicant before the application will be granted.
The paperwork is otherwise in order.
RULING:
UNOPPOSED Verified Application of Elizabeth Ireland for Admission Pro Hac Vice as Counsel for Defendant Capital One, National Association:
The Court notes that the application does not include the residence address of the applicant, as required under CRC Rule 9.40(d)(1). Applicant is ordered to submit a declaration under oath or verified supplement to the application stating the applicant’s residence address before the Court will grant the application. Once such a showing is submitted, the Verified Application of Elizabeth Ireland, member in good standing of the State Bar of North Carolina, for Admission Pro Hac Vice as Counsel for Defendant Capital One, National Association will be GRANTED. The Court finds that the application complies with all requirements of CRC Rule 9.40 and that applicant has provided sufficient proof of service on the State Bar and payment of the requisite fee.
