`
`Dear Counsel:
`
`
`As you know, your names appear on the service list of a document filed with this Court in
`Case #22-CV-23753-KMM. Our records, however, indicate that you are not members of the
`Southern District of Florida Bar. Pursuant to Local Rule 4(b) of the Rules Governing the
`Admission, Practice, Peer Review, and Discipline of Attorneys, only members of the Bar of this
`District m8y appear as attorneys in this Court except when appearance pro hac vice is permitted by
`the Court.
`
`
`In order to appear and participate in a particular case in this Court, you must be an attorney
`who is a member in good standing of the bar of any United States Court, or of the highest Court of
`any State or Territory or Insular Possession of the United States. You are then required to file a
`written application, electronically filed by counsel admitted to practice in this District, requesting
`permission to appear and participate in a particular case. A certification that you have studied this
`Court’s Local Rules shall accompany the application. If permission to appear pro hac vice is
`granted, such appearance shall not constitute formal admission or authorize you to file documents
`via CM/ECF.
`
`
`The Rule also requires that the application designate a member of the Bar of this Court who
`is authorized to file through the Court’s electronic filing system, to act as local counsel with whom
`the Court and opposing counsel may readily communicate regarding the conduct of the case, upon
`whom filings shall be served, who shall be required to electronically file and serve all documents
`and things that may be filed and served electronically, and who shall be responsible for filing and
`serving documents in compliance with the CM/ECF Administrative Procedures. The Rule further
`requires that the application be accompanied by a written statement from local counsel consenting
`to the designation, and the address and telephone number of local counsel.
`
`
`An attorney who is granted a pro hac vice appearance will not be permitted to register as a
`CM/ECF User in this District but may access the electronic record through the PACER System
`(see Section 7B of the Administrative Procedures on our website [www.flsd.uscourts.gov]).
`
`
`“It is our honor and duty to provide the support necessary to enable the Court as an institution to fulfill its constitutional,
`statutory, and societal responsibilities for all who seek justice.”

`
`
`Attorneys admitted pro hac vice will be required to electronically file and serve all
`documents through their local counsel. An application to appear pro hac vice must be
`electronically filed by local counsel, along with the applicable filing fee, via CM/ECF. Although
`attorneys granted pro hac vice appearance will not be permitted to file electronically, the attorney
`admitted pro hac vice will be able to electronically receive Notices of Electronic Filing. Such
`requests should be included in your application to appear pro hac vice and in the accompanying
`proposed order. The e-mail address for the attorney(s) seeking admission must be provided in
`both the motion and proposed order in order to receive electronic notices. Please note the Court
`does not add secondary email addresses for pro hac vice attorneys. Pro hac vice attorneys
`should instruct their local counsel to add secondary email addresses to local counsel’s CM/ECF
`account.
`
`
`Administrative Order 2020-9 provides that an admissions fee of $200.00 is to be paid by
`every attorney petitioning the Court to appear and participate in a particular case under Rule 4(b).
`The fee must be paid by local counsel in conjunction with the filing of your motion to appear pro
`hac vice and certification.
`
`
`A form motion for appearance pro hac vice can be downloaded from our website at
`www.flsd.uscourts.gov, Attorney Resources, Pro Hac Vice Appearance. If you have any
`questions, you may contact Attorney Admissions at (305) 523-5265 or the CM/ECF Help Desk at
`(888) 318-2260.
