ORDER TO REQUEST PERMISSION TO PRACTICE AND FILE NOTICE OF APPEARANCE
Before: Judge Rae
This case is before me upon a petition for assessment of a civil penalty under section
105(d) of the Federal Mine Safety and Health Act of 1977, 30 U.S.C. § 815(d).
On March 4, 2013, Mr. Bowman, a non-attorney representative filed a Notice of Appearance on dockets KENT 2012-390, 772 and 773. I denied his Entry of Appearance on March 25, 2013 under Commission Rule 29 C.F.R.§ 2700.3(b) which requires non-attorneys to seek permission from the presiding judge to appear before him/her, which he had not done. He was given 20 days in which to respond, which he did, submitting documentary evidence of his experience as a former Conference Litigation Representative and MSHA inspector. On April 23, 2013, I then issued an Order granting permission to Mr. Bowman to appear before me on these three dockets. However, the Order also required he file a request for permission to appear and a Notice of Appearance on all other dockets he had pending before me. He has not done so.
Mr. Bowman currently has the 18 dockets set forth in the above caption in which he has not filed a Request for Permission to Practice or a Notice of Appearance. He is therefore ordered to do so within 15 calendar days from the date of this Order. Failure to do so may result in a denial of such permission to practice before me.
It is so ORDERED this eighth day of May, 2013.
/s/ Priscilla M. Rae
