IN THE UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT

FOR THE NORTHERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA

MAURICE S. THOMPSON, on behalf of

himself and all others similarly situated,

Plaintiff,

 v.

JEANNE S. WOODFORD, Acting Secretary,

California Department of Corrections and

Rehabilitation,

Defendant. /

No. C 79-01630 WHA

ORDER REFUSING TO

RESCHEDULE HEARING ON

MOTION TO INTERVENE AND

CHANGING CASE NAME

Due to the resignation of Roderick Hickman from his position as secretary of the

California Department of Corrections and Rehabilitation, he is HEREBY REPLACED AS

DEFENDANT WITH ACTING SECRETARY JEANNE S. WOODFORD, pursuant to Federal Rule of

Civil Procedure 25(d)(1). 

Would-be intervenor Freddie Fuiava filed a notice to change the hearing date of his

motion to intervene. Normally, movants unilaterally may renotice a hearing date for a motion,

provided no opposition has been filed and the date by which an opposition was due has not yet

passed. In the instant case, however, the hearing date on the motion to intervene was set by the

Court so as to coincide with the hearing on the fairness of the proposed modification of the

consent decree. Movant Fuiava’s request involves changes he wishes to see to the consent

decree. It therefore makes no sense to hold the hearing on the motion after the hearing on the

modification of the consent decree. Unless movant Fuiava provides a justification or excuse for
