Please Note:
          ●Attorneys appearing for the Department of Justice (“DOJ”) may appear without requesting pro hac vice admission. DOJ
           attorneys should make an e-filing request only at pacer.uscourts.gov. If you later enter private practice, however, you will have
           to apply for regular or pro hac vice admission.
          ●Attorneys for federal agencies other than the DOJ must request pro hac vice admission but their certificates of good
            standing may have been issued within one year of filing and the motion fee is waived.
