ORDER

Pending before the Court is a Request for an Order of Joinder and Directive for

Copies filed by Rick A. Foley (Dkt. 857). On September 9, 2003, the Court granted motions

to vacate the consent decree and to dismiss the lawsuit, terminating the case (Dkt. 777). The

Court later denied motions filed by various plaintiffs who sought to alter or amend or for

relief from that judgment. (See, e.g., Dkt. 788.) The Court also denied motions by nonparties to the action who sought relief from the final judgment, and those denials were upheld

on appeal by the Ninth Circuit. (Dkt. 849.) Additionally, no class was ever finally certified,

as required by a 1994 court order (See id.). Thus there is no case for Mr. Foley to join.

Accordingly,

IT IS HEREBY ORDERED denying Mr. Foley’s motion for an order of joinder

(Dkt. 857).

DATED this 29th day of November, 2007.
