UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT COMPOSED OF THREE JUDGES

PURSUANT TO SECTION 2284, TITLE 28 UNITED STATES CODE

Plaintiffs,

v.

EDMUND G. BROWN JR., et al.,

Defendants.

Case No. 2:90-cv-0520 KJM DB P

THREE-JUDGE COURT

Case No. 01-cv-01351-JST 

THREE-JUDGE COURT

ORDER RE: STATUS OF INTERVENORS

Before trial in this matter, the court granted motions to intervene by various counties, 

legislators, district attorneys, sheriffs, sheriff-coroners, county probation officers, and one city 

chief of corrections. ECF Nos. 817/2376, 857/2427.

2

 The court subsequently granted stipulations 

to dismiss several intervenors with prejudice. ECF No. 2121/3536, 2131/3550, 2302/3808.

 

1

The parties in the individual Plata v. Brown case have agreed that Marciano Plata should 

be terminated as an individual plaintiff. Given the long history of this litigation and the general 

familiarity with the Plata case name, the Plata court has decided not to change the case caption.

2 All filings in this Three-Judge Court are included in the individual docket sheets of both 

Plata v. Brown, No. 01-cv-01351-JST (N.D. Cal.), and Coleman v. Brown, No. 2:90-cv-0520 KJM 

DB P (E.D. Cal.). This court includes the docket number of Plata first, then Coleman.

To ensure that the docket for this case is accurate, counsel for all remaining intervenors 

shall consult with their clients to determine (a) whether the individuals or entities listed on the 

court docket sheets wish to continue as intervenors in this case and (b) if so, whether any 

substitutions need to be made pursuant to Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 25(d). Intervenors who 

wish to remain in this case shall file a notice of intention to remain an intervenor on or before 

October 12, 2017. Any intervenor who does not timely file such notice will be terminated from 

this case with prejudice. See Atchison, Topeka & Santa Fe Ry. Co. v. Hercules Inc., 146 F.3d 

1071, 1074 (9th Cir. 1998) (“[D]istrict courts have inherent power to control their dockets [unless] 

its exercise would nullify the procedural choices reserved to parties under the federal rules.”).

IT IS SO ORDERED.
