`COMMUNICATIONS, LLC,
`Plaintiff,
`

`OPENTV, INC., and NAGRAVISION SA,
`Defendants.
` /
`
`No. C 16-06180 WHA
`
`ORDER DENYING PRO
`HAC VICE APPLICATION
`
`The pro hac vice application of Attorney Jason Liss (Dkt. No. 28) is DENIED for failing
`to comply with Local Rule 11-3. That rule requires an applicant to certify that “he or she is an
`active member in good standing of the bar of a United States Court or of the highest court of
`another State or the District of Columbia, specifying such bar” (emphasis added). Filling out
`the pro hac vice form from the district court website such that it identifies only the state of bar
`membership — e.g., “the bar of Massachusetts” — is inadequate under the rule because it fails
`to identify a specific court. While the application fee does not need to be paid again, the
`application cannot be processed until a corrected form is submitted.
`
`IT IS SO ORDERED.
`
`Dated: January 4, 2017.
