CIVIL ACTION NO. 2:07-CV-480 (DF) DEFENDANTS' AND PLAINTIFF'S JOINT OPPOSITION TO THIRD PARTY MOTIONS

DEFENDANTS' AND PLAINTIFF'S JOINT OPPOSITION TO THIRD PARTY MOTIONS On December 5, 2008, a third party filed handwritten papers titled, "Motion for Reconsideration & Clarification, Motion to Intervene as Plaintiffs under Fed. R. Civ. P. Rule 24(A)2, (B), Motion for Brief of Amicus Curiae, Friend of the Court." See Dkt. No. 222. The papers appear to be prepared by a federal prisoner and were mailed from Federal Correctional Institute Williamsburg, in Salters, South Carolina. Dkt. No. 222 at page 3. The filer of the papers purports to be "Jonathan Lee Riches," and the papers purport to be on behalf of several entities and individuals. The third party did not consult with any of the parties to this action before filing the papers. Defendant Google Inc. ("Google") has consulted with the other parties to this action, including Plaintiff, and all parties oppose any relief or intervention to the third party filer. The filings appear to be simultaneously filed in other pending actions. The third party who filed the papers has no known connection to any of the issues in this action, which involves a claim for patent infringement. The third party has not demonstrated that

it has any claim or defense that shares with the main action a common question of law or fact as it must to intervene under Rule 24. See Rule 24, Fed. R. Civ. Proc. Accordingly, the parties respectfully request that this Court deny any relief requested in the papers filed December 5, 2008.
