ORDER DENYING MIKKI THE

Defendants.

CASE NO. C17-0135JLR

Before the court is Mikki the Mime’s Motion to Intervene. (Mot. (Dkt. # 60).)

16

Ms. Mime is proceeding pro se, and the court liberally construes her filing as a motion to

17

intervene in these proceedings and a supporting memorandum.

18

Under Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 24(a), in order to intervene as of right in

19

this action, Ms. Mime must establish that she has (1) “an unconditional right to intervene

20

by a federal statute,” or (2) “an interest relating to the . . . transaction that is the subject of

21

the action . . . .” Fed. R. Civ. P. 24(a). For permissive intervention, Ms. Mime must

22

show that she has (1) “a conditional right to intervene by a federal statute,” or (2) “a

ORDER - 1

1

claim or defense that shares with the main action a common question of law or fact.”

2

Fed. R. Civ. P. 24(b)(1). The burden is on the proposed intervenor to demonstrate that

3

the conditions for intervention are satisfied. United States v. Alisal Water Corp., 370

4

F.3d 915, 919 (9th Cir. 2004).

5

Ms. Mime fails to demonstrate that the conditions for either intervention as of

6

right or for permissive intervention are met. See Fed. R. Civ. P. 24(a)-(b)(1).

7

Accordingly, the court DENIES her motion to intervene (Dkt. # 60). Further, the court

8

DIRECTS the Clerk to refrain from placing any future filings by Ms. Mime on the court’s

9

docket for this case, unless the filing is a motion for reconsideration or a notice of appeal

10
11

of this order.
