Clarissa A. Kang Admitted Pro Hac Vice for US Roche Medical Plan

Magistrate Judge Dustin B. Pead granted a motion on March 20, 2025, allowing attorney Clarissa A. Kang to appear pro hac vice for US Roche Medical and Prescription Plan in a case pending in the District of Utah.

This order permits Kang, who is not licensed in Utah, to represent the client in this federal matter. The court requires all pro hac vice attorneys to register for electronic filing and case notifications through the district’s CM/ECF system. Failure to register will result in the attorney not receiving electronic updates on case activity.

The order emphasizes the procedural obligations for out-of-state counsel, including compliance with local rules, which are accessible on the District of Utah’s website. This step is standard for attorneys seeking temporary admission to practice in a jurisdiction where they are not licensed.

The case itself remains active, but details about the underlying dispute, parties, or claims have not been disclosed in the public docket.

This admission signals that US Roche Medical and Prescription Plan is moving forward with legal representation in the District of Utah. The court’s formal approval of Kang’s admission ensures that the client can rely on counsel familiar with the case, even if that attorney is based outside Utah.

The procedural notice about CM/ECF registration shows the court’s effort to maintain efficient electronic case management and communication.

No further substantive rulings or motions have been publicly noted at this stage. The docket does not provide information on the nature of the claims or the opposing parties. The case remains under Magistrate Judge Pead’s jurisdiction, who handled the admission order.

Monitoring subsequent filings will be necessary to track the case’s development and any emerging legal issues.
