VERIFIED APPLICATION OF ASHLEY L. B. ROSS FOR ADMISSION TO APPEAR AS COUNSEL PRO HAC VICE FOR DEFENDANTS GILEAD SCIENCES, INC., GILEAD HOLDINGS, LLC, GILEAD SCIENCES, LLC, AND GILEAD SCIENCES IRELAND UC
TENTATIVE RULING:
The court GRANTS the application of Ashley L. B. Ross to appear as counsel pro hac vice for defendants.
The court reminds counsel of the requirement of Government Code section 70617 subdivision (e)(2) which provides that “on or before the anniversary of the date the application was granted, an annual renewal fee of five hundred dollars ($500) for each year that the attorney maintains pro hac vice status in the case in which the application was granted” must be paid. Failure to pay the fees can have consequences. (See e.g. Golba v. Dick's Sporting Goods, Inc. (2015) 238 Cal.App.4th 1251, 1255 [declining to award fees].)
If the tentative ruling is uncontested, it shall become the order of the court. Thereafter, counsel for plaintiff shall prepare a written order consistent with the court’s ruling for the court’s signature, pursuant to California Rules of Court, rule 3.1312, and provide written notice of the ruling to all parties who have appeared in the action and the State Bar of California, as required by law and the California Rules of Court.
