Status Conference
The court has reviewed the parties’ joint status conference statement filed June 18, 2026 (ROA 1354).
The status conference scheduled for June 25, 2026 at 2:00 p.m. in Department CX105 remains on calendar.
40 Herrick v. TTE Attorney Andrea R. Gold’s Motion to Appear Pro Hac Vice Technology, Inc. 2:30 p.m. Attorney Andrea R. Gold moves to appear pro hac vice for plaintiff 2025-01535413 Stephan Herrick. For the following reasons, the application is denied without prejudice.
“A person desiring to appear as counsel pro hac vice in a superior court must file with the court a verified application together with proof of service by mail in accordance with Code of Civil Procedure section 1013a of a copy of the application and of the notice of hearing of the application on all parties who have appeared in the cause and on the State Bar at its San Francisco office.” Cal. R. Ct. 9.40(c)(1). The proof of service (ROA 80) does not reflect service of the application on the State Bar of California at its San Francisco office (or anywhere), and the “Notice of Filing of Pro Hac Vice Application Acknowledgement Notice” (ROA 86) is not a proof of service.
The application also does not contain any evidence the application fee has been paid. The Persinger Declaration attached to Attorney Gold’s two (apparently identical) applications (ROA 85, 90) is missing Exhibit A, and the “Pro Hac Vice Application Acknowledgement Notice” attached to the “Notice of Filing of Pro Hac Vice Application Acknowledgement Notice” does not refer to payment of the fee. The proof of service (ROA 80) states that one of the documents served on plaintiff’s and defendant’s counsel was “Filing Fee of Six Hundred Dollars,” but, as noted above, the proof of service does not include the State Bar of California.
Attorney Gold’s application is denied without prejudice to enable plaintiff to file another application that addresses the above deficiencies.
Plaintiff to give notice.
