On March 7, 2013, Las Virgenes-Triunfo Joint Powers Authority ("Las Virgenes")
filed a motion to intervene pursuant to Rule 24 of the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure,
which was not noticed for hearing. Dkt. 49. Las Virgenes' failure to file a properly noticed
motion violates the Civil Local Rules governing motion practice. See Civ. L.R. 7-1(a), 72(a), 7-2(b). In general, "[a]ny written request to the Court for an order must be presented
by . . . [d]uly noticed motion pursuant to Civil L.R. 7-2." Civ. L.R. 7-1(a). Except as
otherwise ordered or permitted by the assigned Judge or the Local Rules, "all motions must
be filed, served and noticed in writing on the motion calendar of the assigned Judge for
hearing not less than 35 days after service of the motion." Civ. L.R. 7-2(a). A motion must
contain, among other things, "notice of the motion, including date and time of hearing" in
the first paragraph. Civ. L.R. 7-2(b).
Accordingly,
IT IS HEREBY ORDERED THAT:

1
2

1.

Las Virgenes' motion to intervene is DENIED without prejudice to the

refiling of a motion that complies with the Court's Civil Local Rules.

3

IT IS SO ORDERED.

This Order terminates Docket 49 and Docket 59.

Dated: 3/20/13
