involving the long-standing tribal dispute of the California 

Valley Miwok Tribe. Pursuant to Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 

24, the competing tribal faction seeks to intervene in this 

action and that motion is set to be heard on September 6, 2016. 

(Docket No. 19.) Because the court and parties would benefit 

from knowing who is a party to this action before hearing oral 

argument and ruling on plaintiffs’ motion to stay, the court will 

hear plaintiffs’ motion to stay after deciding the motion to 

intervene. 

IT IS THEREFORE ORDERED that the hearing on plaintiffs’ 

motion to stay (Docket No. 10) is continued to October 17, 2016

at 1:30 p.m. The motion to intervene shall remain set for 

hearing on September 6, 2016 at 1:30 p.m. 

The court requires personal appearances for oral 

argument in this case and therefore plaintiffs’ request for a 

telephonic appearance (Docket No. 22) is DENIED. 

Dated: August 18, 2016
