Henderson moves to join Gonzalez's Reply, (ECF No. 1208), in support of Gonzalez's Motion for Notice of Intent to Introduce Evidence Pursuant to Rule 404(b), (ECF No. 699). Upon review of the docket, Henderson's Motion for Joinder, should have been granted in the Court's prior Order, (ECF No. 1516). Good cause appearing, Henderson's Motion for Joinder, (ECF No. 1251), is GRANTED.

Also pending before the Court is Defendant Robert Coleman's ("Coleman") Motion for Joinder, (ECF No. 1238). Coleman moves to join Gonzalez's Reply, (ECF No. 1232), in support of Gonzalez's Motion Seeking Procedures for Determining Admissibility of Operation Simple Green Statements, (ECF No. 702). Upon review of the docket, this Motion should have been granted in the Court's Minute Order, (ECF No. 1476). Good cause appearing, Coleman's Motion for Joinder, (ECF No. 1238), is GRANTED.

Also pending before the Court is Coleman's Motion for Joinder, (ECF No. 1269). Coleman moves to join Gonzalez's Reply, (ECF No. 1259), in support of Gonzalez's Motion to Suppress Cell Site Location Information and Text Message Content, (ECF No. 804). For the reasons set forth in Judge Hoffman's Order and Report and Recommendation, (ECF No. 1422), Coleman's Motion for Joinder, (ECF No. 1269), is DENIED.

Also pending before the Court is Coleman's Motion for Joinder, (ECF No. 1313). Coleman moves to join Defendant Jeremy Halgat's ("Halgat") Reply, (ECF No. 1264), in support of Halgat's Motion in Limine to Preclude "Gang" Reference, (ECF No. 857). Upon review of the docket, this Motion should have been granted in the Court's Minute Order, (ECF No. 1476). Good cause appearing, Coleman's Motion for Joinder, (ECF No. 1313), is GRANTED.

Also pending before the Court is Defendant John Juarez's ("Juarez") Motion for Joinder, (ECF No. 1272). Juarez moves to join Gonzalez's Reply, (ECF No. 1232), in support of Gonzalez's Motion Seeking Procedures for Determining Admissibility of Operation Simple Green Statements, (ECF No. 702).

Also pending before the Court are the Motions for Joinder filed by Juarez and Coleman, (ECF Nos. 1273, 1237). In the Motions, Juarez and Coleman move to join Gonzalez's Reply, (ECF No. 1233), in support of Gonzalez's Motion to Suppress Evidence Pertaining to RICO Overt Act #5, (ECF No. 781). An individual seeking to exclude evidence allegedly obtained in violation of the Fourth Amendment protections must have standing. United States v. Pulliam, 405 F.3d 782, 785-86 (9th Cir. 2005). The defendant bears the burden of demonstrating that his Fourth Amendment rights were violated by the unlawful search and seizure. United States v. Caymen, 404 F.3d 1196, 1199 (9th Cir. 2005). The Fourth Amendment's protections may be invoked by a criminal defendant if he can demonstrate a "legitimate expectation of privacy in the place searched or of the item[s] seized." United States v. Ziegler, 474 F.3d 1184, 1189 (9th Cir. 2007). Here, neither Juarez nor Coleman explain how they had a reasonable expectation of privacy in the places searched or the items seized. Accordingly, the Motions for Joinder, (ECF Nos. 1273, 1237), are DENIED.

I. CONCLUSION

IT IS HEREBY ORDERED that the Motions for Joinder, (ECF Nos. 995, 1251, 1238, 1313, 1272), are GRANTED.

IT IS FURTHER ORDERED that the Motions for Joinder, (ECF Nos. 1269, 1237, 1273), are DENIED.
