By papers filed November 5, 2012 (Doc. No. 585), one James Charles Kopp, as
identified in the papers (“Movant”), moves to intervene pursuant to Fed.R.Civ.P. 24
(“the motion”). On November 19, 2012, Defendants filed Defendants’ Response To
Motion to Intervene (Doc. No. 598) opposing the motion (“Defendants’ Response”).
Based on the reasons and authorities as set forth in Defendants’ Response, the motion
should be denied. The motion fails to identify any interest justifying Movant’s
participation in this case and allowing intervention at this time is likely to unduly delay
the proceedings particularly the court’s consideration of the merits of Defendants’
motions to dismiss (Doc. No. 318) and for summary judgment (Doc. No. 320).

CONCLUSION
Based on the foregoing, the motion (Doc. No. 585) is DENIED.
SO ORDERED.
