ORDER. Before the Court is Elizabeth Eckholm's application for admission pro hac vice. Dkt. No. 2 . The application requires "an original certificate of good standing issued within the past 90 days from the attorney licensing authority in a state in which you are admitted to practice (e.g., State Bar of Texas)." Id. at 2. Instead of attaching a certificate from her licensing authority, Eckholm attached a certificate from the United States District Court for the District of Minnesota. See Dkt. No. 2-1. Eckholm's application is therefore deficient. Eckholm is ordered to file a compliant pro hac vice application within seven days of this Order to continue representation in this action.
