PAPERLESS ORDER. THIS CAUSE came before the Court on Plaintiffs' Motions to Appear Pro Hac Vice, Consent to Designation, and Request to Electronically Receive Notices of Electronic Filings 10 11 12 14 . The instant Motions have been filed by Movant Stephen Gillman. However, the Movant has included electronic rather than original signatures on the Motions. Section 5J of the Court's CM/ECF Administrative Procedures requires a motion to appear pro hac vice be "filed in the conventional manner." See also CM/ECF Admin. P. ยง 2B. Conventionally filed documents must include original signatures, as an "s/" signature is used only for electronically filed documents. See id. at ยง 3J. Because the proper CM/ECF Administrative Procedures and Local Rules were not followed, the Court will not grant the Motions. UPON CONSIDERATION of the Motions, the pertinent portions of the record, and being otherwise fully advised in the premises, it is ORDERED AND ADJUDGED that the Motions 10 11 12 14 are DENIED. Signed by Judge K. Michael Moore on 1/8/2014. (nhl) (Entered: 01/08/2014)
