Opinion
Opinion
ORDER
Jay Alan Rothstein attempts to substitute as counsel of record on behalf of appellant Joergen Helmer Hagman in Hag-man’s appeal from the denial of his federal habeas corpus petition. Rothstein does not qualify for admission to the United States Court of Appeals for the Ninth Circuit and was admitted to practice in error. We vacate Rothstein’s admission to the United States Court of Appeals for the Ninth Circuit and this court’s order granting his substitution as attorney of record.
FACTUAL BACKGROUND
Rothstein was admitted to practice before the High Court of the Trust Territory of the Pacific Islands on December 28, 1988. He has not been admitted to practice before any other court. On January 17, 1989, Rothstein applied for admission to the Ninth Circuit. His application was processed and he was admitted. He was later informed that he had been admitted in error. Prior to being informed of his erroneous admission to the Ninth Circuit, Roth-stein applied for and was admitted to the United States District Court for the Northern District of California. Rothstein listed on his application for admission to the Northern District, his admission to the Ninth Circuit.
