BEFORE THE IDAHO PUBLIC UTILITIES COMMISSION

On January 12, 2022, Walmart Inc. (“Walmart”) 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
Vicki M. Baldwin in this matter. The Motion was signed and attested to by local counsel Norman
M. Semanko (Idaho State Bar License No. 4761).
In the Motion, Ms. Baldwin certifies that she is an active member in good standing of
the Utah State Bar who maintains the regular practice of law in Utah. She further declares that she
is not an Idaho resident or licensed to practice law in Idaho.
Ms. Baldwin and Mr. Semanko 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. Mr. Semanko
acknowledges that his attendance shall be required at all Commission proceedings in which Ms.
Baldwin appears, unless specifically excused by the Commission.
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. Baldwin and Mr.
Semanko, we find that reasonable grounds have been demonstrated to justify the granting of
limited admission of Ms. Baldwin as legal counsel for Walmart. We further find good reason to
excuse the appearance of Mr. Semanko in further proceedings in this docket unless needed by Ms.
Baldwin.

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