Summary written from the filing; the document itself is the record.

The docket entry is labeled "FILING ERROR - DEFICIENT DOCKET ENTRY": a clerk notice that the filing had a formal defect and had to be refiled. The motion, signed by Mark E. Donnelly, asks for pro hac vice admission (permission for an out-of-state lawyer to appear in the case) to represent Cilia Adela Flores de Maduro. Donnelly states he is in good standing of the Texas bar and the bar of the Southern District of Texas, and that he attached an un-notarized affidavit.
