ORDER

JOHN L. KANE, Senior District Judge.

This matter is currently before me on Proposed Defendant Intervenors Colorado Off Highway Vehicle Coalition, Trails Preservation Alliance, San Juan Trail Riders, Public Access Preservation Association, and the Blueribbon Coalition's Motion to Intervene (doc. 5). After carefully considering the motion and the accompanying brief in support and applying the legal standards set forth by the Tenth Circuit in San Juan County, Utah v. United States, 503 F.3d 1163, 1188 (10th Cir. 2007)(en banc), I am persuaded to GRANT the motion. The clerk shall enter the answer attached as Exhibit 1 to their Motion to Intervene.

Defendant Intervenors' participation is not, however, without limitation. Defendant Intervenors' participation will be limited in this appeal in the interest of the efficient conduct of the proceedings. Rule 24(a)(2)'s "reference to practical consideration in determining whether an applicant can intervene implies that those same considerations can justify limitations on the scope of intervention." San Juan County, 503 F.3d at 1189. "[I]ntervention of right under the amended rule may be subject to appropriate considerations or restrictions responsive among other things to the requirements of efficient conduct of the proceedings." Id. (quoting Fed. R. Civ. P. 24 Advisory Committee Notes (1966 Amendment)).

Accordingly, counsel for Defendants and counsel for Defendant Intervenors must confer before filing any motion, responsive filing, or brief to determine whether their positions may be set forth in a consolidated fashion. Defendant Intervenors may file separate motions, responsive filings, or briefs only to raise arguments or issues Defendants decline to raise in their filings.1 Those arguments must be limited to the claims raised by the original parties; arguments relating to collateral issues will be stricken as immaterial. Any separate filings must include a Certificate of Compliance, confirming compliance with this conferral requirement. The Certificate of Compliance should also include a statement that the Defendant's position does not adequately cover the issues they seek to raise.
