William Laubenstein, Esq. Gregory A. Brodek, Esq. Andrew B. MacLean, Esq. Joseph P. Ditre, Esq. Introduction Applicants are aware of seven pending motions to intervene in the above-referenced action.
Applicants firmly agree.
The seven putative intervenors indicate that they represent a broad spectrum of interests. There is substantial overlap between the apparent concerns and, indeed, the member organizations of the seven putative intervenors. Given openness goals, Applicants welcome broad public participation. A. Permissive Intervention Looking at the last point, some putative intervenors have sought to intervene as of right instead of or in addition to permissively. Given, however, that Applicants agree not to oppose the grant of permissive intervention to all seven putative intervenors, Applicants respectfully submit that the fairest and most efficient way to proceed is to grant such intervention.
