Verbish v. Instructure, Inc.

Summary

The United States District Court for the District of Utah denies a motion for Tyler J. Bean's admission pro hac vice. The court concludes that Bean's four prior pro hac vice admissions in unrelated cases within five years exceed the limit under DUCivR 83-1.1(c)(1)(A)(iii), and that his explanation does not establish good cause for avoiding admission to the Utah State Bar.

Holdings

1. An attorney who has already been admitted pro hac vice in four unrelated cases in the District of Utah during the preceding five years must establish good cause to avoid the local rule's requirement that the attorney seek admission to the Utah State Bar; Bean's speculative statement that he did not expect to appear in additional Utah cases did not establish good cause.

Questions Presented

1. Whether Tyler J. Bean established good cause for an exception to the District of Utah local rule limiting attorneys who have already been admitted pro hac vice in three unrelated cases during the preceding five years.
