ORDER (Directing Clerk to Withdraw Pro Hac Vice) This matter comes before the Court on its own accord. The Court has determined that Ms. Greer, for whom the Court granted her Motion to Appear Pro Hac Vice, (ECF No.12 ), has not been admitted to practice in a federal district court. Because the Local Rules require that foreign attorneys be "qualified to practice in the United States District Court of another state or the District of Columbia," the Court hereby DIRECTS the Clerk to WITHDRAW its prior Order granting said Motion, (ECF No.12 ), and consequently DENIES Ms. Greer's Motion to Appear Pro Hac Vice, (ECF No.11 ). Ms. Greer may visit Pay.gov to get a refund of her pro hac vice admission fee. Signed by District Judge David J. Novak on 6/11/2024. (adun, )
