Local Rule 83.4: Entry of Appearance
D.N.M. — Attorney rule
83.4 Entry of Appearance.
(a) Individual Attorney. To participate in a pending proceeding, an attorney must enter an appearance or obtain leave of the Court to sign and file any pleading, motion, or other document. The attorney must: • be eligible to appear under D.N.M.LR-Civ. 83.2 or 83.3; • file a written entry of appearance which includes the attorney's name, firm name, address, telephone number, electronic address, and facsimile number; and • sign the initial pleading or motion filed on behalf of a party.
(b) Appearance by Law Firm (Including Governmental Entity or Agency Attorney's Office and Public Defenders). Entry of appearance by a law firm allows any member of that firm to participate in the action; however, each attorney in the firm wishing to receive documents from the Clerk must make a written entry of appearance in the action. A member of a firm may file a withdrawal of appearance from a particular case without meeting the requirements of D.N.M.LR-Civ. 83.8, provided that at least one member remains in the case.
(c) Limited Entry of Appearance. An attorney may not appear in a limited manner as provided in N.M.R. PROF'L CONDUCT 16-303(E) except by Court order.
