P1324 An out-of-state attorney appearing before California courts pro hac vice is subject to California law governing the conduct of attorneys to the same extent as a member of the California Bar and may have pro hac vice status revoked for the same reasons that would justify disqualification of a California attorney; the trial court's inherent power does not include authority to sanction California attorneys for making misrepresentations by imposing upon them attorney fees or by issuing a formal reprimand, so the court may not impose such sanctions on an out-of-state attorney appearing pro hac vice.CitationSHELLER v SUPERIOR COURT (Pro Hac Vice Sanctions) 158 CA4 1697 [See: CCP 128; Chambers v NASCO 501 US 32; Bauguess v Paine 22 C3 626]
