`
`Dear Counselor:
`
`Our records indicate that you have filed document(s) in the above-entitled cause. Since your
`office is not within the jurisdiction of this District, we wish to call your attention to the
`requirements of our Local Rule 83.15. This rule states: RULE 83.15 DESIGNATION OF
`LOCAL COUNSEL FOR SERVICE
`
`A.
`
`B.
`
`C.
`
`Designation of Local Counsel
`An attorney not having an office within this District shall appear before this Court only
`upon having designated, at the time of filing his/her initial notice or pleading, a member
`of the bar of this Court having an office within this District upon whom service of papers
`may be made. The attorney so designated shall not file a separate appearance unless
`he/she is to participate in the case beyond the extent required of an attorney designated
`pursuant to this Rule.
`
`Penalties for Failing to Designate Local Counsel
`Where the nonresident attorney tenders documents without the required designation of
`local counsel, the Clerk shall process them as if the designation were filed and shall
`promptly notify the attorney in writing that the designation must be made within thirty
`(30) days. If the attorney fails to file the designation within that time, the documents filed
`by him/ her may be stricken by the court.
`Duties of Local Counsel
`
`An attorney designated pursuant to this Rule shall be responsible for receiving service of
`notices, pleadings and other documents and promptly notifying the designating attorney
`of their receipt and contents. In emergencies, the designated attorney may appear on
`behalf of the designating attorney. This Rule does not require the designated attorney to
`handle any substantive aspects of the litigation (such matters may be handled by the out-
`of—district attorney under Local Rules 83.12 or 83.14, as the case may be) or to sign any
`pleading, motion or other paper (see Fed. R. Civ. P. 11).
`
`Rev. 1 1.-"29.-"2016

`Sincerely yours,
`Thomas G. Bruton
