_______________________________
This matter is before the Court on the Motion for Admission
Pro Hac
Vice and Affidavit (the “Motion,” Doc. 7) filed by Andrew L. Chapin. The
Motion indicates that Mr. Chapin, a member in good standing of the Bar of this
Court, is local counsel for Plaintiff LaForce, LLC f/k/a La Force, Inc., and that
he seeks the admission of Daniel J. Blinka, who the Motion represents as being
a member in good standing of the Bar of the State of Wisconsin. It further
appears that the requisite admission fee has been paid.
The Motion also indicates that Mr. Chapin has not conferred with
counsel for Defendant regarding the Motion because Defendant has not yet
appeared in this action.
Seeing no facial defect in the Motion, the undersigned will grant the
request. Defendant may, however, request that the admission of Daniel J.

Blinka be reconsidered after Defendant has appeared in this matter. Any such
request for reconsideration should be supported by specific objections to the
instant
pro hac vice admission.
IT IS THEREFORE ORDERED THAT:
1. The Motion for Admission Pro Hac Vice and Affidavit (Doc. 7) is
GRANTED, and Daniel J. Blinka is ADMITTED to practice
pro hac
vice before the Court in this matter while associated with local
counsel.
2. This ruling is WITHOUT PREJUDICE to Defendant’s right to
challenge Mr. Blinka’s admission, provided that any such motion is
filed within seven (7) days of Defendant’s appearance in this matter
and is appropriately supported.
