intervene regarding plaintiff’s petition for Court approval of compromise, but refers to
the petition as “Dkt No. 164.” Dkt. 176-4 ¶ 19. Docket number 164 in this matter is not

cc: Magistrate Judge Karen L. Stevenson

164. On June 13, 2017, the Court ordered that plaintiff may file the petition itself under
seal, dkt. 166, and on July 13, 2017, plaintiff filed the petition under seal, dkt. 171. The
Court assumes, for purposes of this order, that Hennig Ruiz P.C. seeks to intervene only
in regard to plaintiff’s petition for Court approval of compromise (i.e. docket number
171) and not to dispute whether the petition should have been filed under seal here.
