Office of the Secretary
Service Date
July 27, 2021
BEFORE THE IDAHO PUBLIC UTILITIES COMMISSION

On July 14, 2021, Sierra Club moved the Idaho Public Utilities Commission
(“Commission”), under Commission Rule of Procedure 43.031 and Idaho Bar Commission Rule
(“IBCR”) 227, for an Order approving the limited admission, pro hac vice, of Rose Monahan in
this matter. The Motion was signed and attested to by local counsel Benjamin J. Otto (Idaho State
Bar License No. 8292).
In the Motion, Ms. Monahan certifies that she is an active member in good standing of
the California State Bar who maintains the regular practice of law in California. She further
declares that she is not an Idaho resident or licensed to practice law in Idaho.
Ms. Monahan and Mr. Otto certify that a copy of the Motion has been served on all
other parties to this case, and that a copy of the Motion, accompanied by a $325 fee and certificate
of good standing, have been submitted to the Idaho State Bar.
COMMISSION FINDINGS
The Commission has reviewed and considered the Motion and applicable rules,
including IBCR 227 and Commission Rules of Procedure 19 and 43.03, IDAPA 31.01.01.019 and
043.03. Based on the filings of record and certified representations of Ms. Monahan and Mr. Otto,
we find that reasonable grounds have been demonstrated to justify the granting of limited
admission of Ms. Monahan as legal counsel for Sierra Club. We further find good reason to excuse
the appearance of Mr. Otto, on behalf of Sierra Club, in further proceedings in this docket unless
needed by Ms. Monahan.
CONCLUSIONS OF LAW
The Commission has jurisdiction in this case and over this Motion pursuant to Idaho
Code, Title 61, and the Commission’s Rules of Procedure, 31.01.01.000 et seq.

1 Commission Rule of Procedure 19 also pertains to motions for pro hac vice admission.
