Defendants.

Case No. 06-cv-04884-SI 

ORDER RE: NON-PARTY FILINGS

Re: Dkt. Nos. 385, 386

On June 4, 2015, Joe Martori, a licensed mining contractor and engineer, filed two letters 

with the Court in his capacity as representative of the Minerals and Mining Advisory Council

(“MMAC”). Docket Nos. 385, 386. The letters allege that the BLM has violated various federal 

laws and has improperly limited public participation in this action. The letters conclude that the 

“[West Mojave Plan] should be struck down and the case should be reopened and reversed as it 

was entirely unlawful and the BLM violated the Public and Land Use’s Best Interest.” Docket No. 

385 at 3. 

Neither Mr. Martori nor the MMAC is a party to this action, and as a result, they have no 

standing to request such relief. Cf. Citibank Int'l v. Collier-Traino, Inc., 809 F.2d 1438, 1440 (9th 

Cir. 1987). Accordingly, the Court will disregard these letters, and STRIKES Docket Nos. 385 

and 386 from the record.

IT IS SO ORDERED.

Dated: June 25, 2015
