entry of an appearance upon the client entering into a contingent fee agreement
approved by the Court. Because the Rule applies to case filed by both prisoners
and non-prisoners, no amendment expressly addresses changes made by the
Prison Litigation Reform Act. However, the calculation of any contingent fee
agreement with a prisoner-plaintiff under subparagraph (b)(9)(i)(aa) should be
reduced by the amount of any judgment that has been used to pay a portion of
attorney fees under 42 U.S.C. § 1997e(d)(2).
LCVR 83.11(b)(11): This amendment makes no substantive changes, but clarifies
that attorney who are not members of the Bar of this Court may be members of
the Panel if they comply with the conditions of LCvR 83.2(g), involving attorneys
representing indigents.
