This declaration makes clear that the court’s records were in fact 20 accurate that counsel was not admitted in this district at the time she presented argument in support 21 of her client’s motion for an adverse inference jury instruction. 22 The court has previously alluded to the importance of bar admission in this district. And yet 23 it is not lost on the court that sometimes even highly-skilled advocates simply make mistakes 24 without any nefarious intent. Counsel’s declaration, with its explanation and apology, persuades 25 the court that this is one of those times. Under such circumstances, a further sanction would serve 26 no meaningful purpose. The court will simply trust that going forward compliance with the local 27 rules of this court and especially the orders of the presiding judge will not be an issue. 28 1 Case No.: 11-1846 LHK (PSG) FURTHER ORDER RE: ATTORNEY ADMISSION 1 We do pay attention to these things. 2 IT IS SO ORDERED. 3 August 16, 2012 4 ___________/s/___________________ PAUL S.
