ORDER
COLLEEN A. BROWN, Bankruptcy Judge.
WHEREAS Attorney Robert I. Morgan is not admitted to practice before the federal courts in the District of Vermont and has been admitted
pro hac vice
in at least one prior case before this Court; and
WHEREAS on July 31, 2002, Attorney Robert I. Morgan filed a papers captioned as Debtor’s Motion to Extend Time to File Chapter 13 Plan (doc. # 3-1)
before
Attorney Michael Kainen filed a Motion to Appear
Pro Hac Vice
(doc. #4-1) which sought to have Attorney Robert I. Morgan admitted to practice before this Court in connection with this case; and
WHEREAS it is in the Court’s discretion to decide whether to admit an attorney
pro hac vice, see Erbacci, Cerone, and Moriarty, Ltd. v. United States,
923 F.Supp. 482, 485 (S.D.N.Y.1996) (citing
Spanos v. Skouras Theatres Corp.,
364 F.2d 161, 167 (2d Cir.1965));
THE COURT HEREBY FINDS that based,
inter alia,
upon the disclosures set forth in the affidavit of Attorney Robert I. Morgan, the performance of Attorney Robert I. Morgan before this Court to date, and the fact that Attorney Robert I. Morgan filed papers in this case prior to the entry of an order granting his admission
pro hac vice
in this case, the Court has sufficient grounds to deny the subject motion.
IT IS THEREFORE ORDERED that, pursuant to 11 U.S.C. § 105 and this court’s inherent power to determine admission of attorneys who appear before it,
1.) the Motion to Appear
Pro Hac Vice
is denied; and
2.) the Debtor shall have 15 days from the date of this Order to find counsel who will proceed with this chapter 13 case and who will adopt the papers filed to date herein as his or her own, or replace them.
SO ORDERED.
