IN RE MCAFEE, INC. DERIVATIVE LITIGATION

Case No. 5:06-cv-03484 JF/PVT ORDER1 (1) DENYING MOTION TO INTERVENE AND (2) TERMINATING MOTION FOR RECUSAL OF COUNSEL [Docket No. 153]

Movants seek to intervene in the instant action pursuant to Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 24(a) and (b). Because of an alleged conflict of interest with one of the movants, they also request that attorney Michael K. Yarnoff recuse himself from the litigation. Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 24(d) requires that a motion to intervene "state the grounds for intervention and be accompanied by a pleading that sets out the claim or defense for which intervention is sought."

instant action was terminated on February 2, 2009, subsequent to entry of final judgment and dismissal of the action with prejudice. Accordingly, the motion to intervene will be denied. The motion to recuse Michael K. Yarnoff from the litigation will be terminated as moot both because the motion to intervene is without merit and because there is no record of an attorney named Michael K. Yarnoff having appeared as counsel in this action.

IT IS SO ORDERED.
