Are you an attorney? The thing that bothers me is why would this case be filed if the attorney is not eligible to practice in that court?
Yes, law is a tough business.
Si, Esquirette am I. The second issue is an interesting one. Just because an attorney is admitted to the state bar, does not mean he is admitted to the federal bar in that state.
Likely what the court is saying is that the attorney who signed that particular pleading needs to join the federal bar for that district. An alternative would be to file a pro hoc vice petition, where another attorney vouches for the non-bar-member attorney for the purposes of that case.
Reading the order again, it looks like the paralegal signed. . . ? That is even worse. . . .
