THREE-JUDGE COURT THREE-JUDGE COURT ORDER RE: STATUS OF INTERVENORS
STEPHEN REINHARDT, Circuit Judge.
KIMBEERLY J. MUELLER, District Judge.
JON S. TIGAR, District Judge.
Before trial in this matter, the court granted motions to intervene by various counties, legislators, district attorneys, sheriffs, sheriff-coroners, county probation officers, and one city chief of corrections. ECF Nos. 817/2376, 857/2427.2 The court subsequently granted stipulations to dismiss several intervenors with prejudice. ECF No. 2121/3536, 2131/3550, 2302/3808.
To ensure that the docket for this case is accurate, counsel for all remaining intervenors shall consult with their clients to determine (a) whether the individuals or entities listed on the court docket sheets wish to continue as intervenors in this case and (b) if so, whether any substitutions need to be made pursuant to Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 25(d). Intervenors who wish to remain in this case shall file a notice of intention to remain an intervenor on or before October 12, 2017. Any intervenor who does not timely file such notice will be terminated from this case with prejudice. See Atchison, Topeka & Santa Fe Ry. Co. v. Hercules Inc., 146 F.3d 1071, 1074 (9th Cir. 1998) ("[D]istrict courts have inherent power to control their dockets [unless] its exercise would nullify the procedural choices reserved to parties under the federal rules.").
IT IS SO ORDERED.
FootNotes
1. The parties in the individual Plata v. Brown case have agreed that Marciano Plata should be terminated as an individual plaintiff. Given the long history of this litigation and the general familiarity with the Plata case name, the Plata court has decided not to change the case caption.
2. All filings in this Three-Judge Court are included in the individual docket sheets of both Plata v. Brown, No. 01-cv-01351-JST (N.D. Cal.), and Coleman v. Brown, No. 2:90-cv-0520 KJM DB P (E.D. Cal.). This court includes the docket number of Plata first, then Coleman.
