Plaintiff,

 v.

THE CALIFORNIA PUBLIC UTILITIES

COMMISSION, et al.,

Defendants. /

No. C 07-1797 SI

ORDER GRANTING UNOPPOSED

MOTION BY CBEYOND

COMMUNICATIONS LLC TO

INTERVENE 

CBeyond Communications LLC has filed a motion to intervene in this action solely for the

purpose of pursuing an appeal. Pursuant to Civil Local Rule 7-1(b), the Court finds the matter

appropriate for resolution without oral argument, and VACATES the May 9, 2008 hearing. 

CBeyond seeks to intervene in this action pursuant to Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 24 in

order to pursue an appeal of one portion of the Court’s summary judgment order. No party has

opposed CBeyond’s motion. The Court finds that CBeyond has met the requirements of intervention

as of right set forth in Rule 24(a): (1) the application was timely filed; (2) CBeyond has a

“significantly protectable” interest in application of the DS-1 UNE transport rule that will be

impaired unless intervention is granted; and (3) CBeyond’s interest will not be adequately

represented by the parties because the CPUC has not appealed this Court’s summary judgment order. 

Accordingly, the Court exercises its discretion and GRANTS CBeyond’s motion to intervene solely

for purposes of appeal. (Docket No. 38).

IT IS SO ORDERED.
