Analysis

There has been a series of pro hac applications that have been heard in this case—this appears to be the final one. Louis M. Russo is seeking admission on behalf of Defendant Monsanto. He is an attorney with Hollingsworth LLP in Washington D.C. He has not appeared pro hac vice, or applied to appear pro hac vice, in California in the last two years. The required fee to the State Bar has been paid. The application contains all required information, and it is appropriate to grant. (The application notes that Plaintiff has consented to Mr. Russo’s pro hac vice admission.)
