`Re: 7:24-cv-279; CardWare Inc., v. Apple LLC
`
`
`Dear counsel:
`
`Our records indicate that you are not admitted to practice in the Western District of Texas. Local
`Court Rule AT-1(f)(1) states:
`
`
`In General: An attorney who is licensed by the highest court of a state or another
`federal district court, but who is not admitted to practice before this court, may
`represent a party in this court pro hac vice only by permission of the judge
`presiding. Unless excused by the judge presiding, an attorney is ordinarily required
`to apply for admission to the bar of this court.
`
`
`Pursuant to Local Court Rule AT-2, if you are an attorney residing outside the Western District
`of Texas, the court may require you to designate local counsel in this case.
`
`Please submit a Motion to Appear Pro Hac Vice requesting the Court’s permission to appear in
`the above-captioned cause, along with a $100 filing fee. Applications for permanent admission
`to the bar and Local Court Rules for the Western District of Texas are available on our website at
`www.txwd.uscourts.gov.
`
`Please be advised that the Clerk no longer automatically adds non-admitted attorneys to a
`case. Thus, non-admitted attorneys will not receive orders or notices (which may include
`deadlines, hearing dates, etc.) filed in their case. The Clerk will only add said attorneys to
`the case upon the granting of a Motion to Appear pro hac vice.
`
`
`
`
`Sincerely,
`
`
`
