Plaintiffs,

v.

WILLIAM STELLE, et al.,

Defendants.

Case No. 16-cv-01079-MMC 

ORDER GRANTING MOTION TO 

INTERVENE

Re: Dkt. No. 19

Before the Court is the Motion to Intervene, filed March 21, 2016, and noticed for 

hearing on April 29, 2016, by Siskiyou County, the American Forest Resource Council, 

Gary Rainey and George Harper (collectively, “proposed intervenors”), pursuant to Rule 

24 of the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure. On April 4, 2016, plaintiffs and the federal 

defendants filed, respectively, a statement of non-opposition, each conditioned on the 

Court’s precluding the proposed intervenors from raising new claims, conducting 

discovery outside the administrative record, and seeking to supplement the administrative 

record; additionally, the federal defendants sought an order providing that they need not 

share applicable page limitations or argument time with the proposed intervenors. On 

April 8, 2016, the proposed intervenors filed a single reply. By agreement of the parties, 

the matter was advanced to today’s date for hearing. Having considered the parties’ and 

proposed intervenors’ respective written submissions, as well as the statements of 

counsel at the hearing, the Court rules as follows.

For the reasons set forth by the Court on the record at the hearing, the Motion to 

Intervene is hereby GRANTED without imposition of conditions, and without prejudice to 

any party raising any of the above-referenced or other procedural concerns as the
