The opinion of the court was delivered by: Morrison C. England, JR United States District Judge
JOINT STIPULATION REGARDING INTERVENTION; ORDER THEREON
TO THE COURT AND ALL RESPECTIVE PARTIES:
IT IS HEREBY STIPULATED by and between Plaintiff Pacific Merchant Shipping Association, Defendant James Goldstene, Proposed Defendant-Intervenor National Resources Defense Council, Proposed Defendant-Intervenor Coalition for Clean Air, Inc., and Proposed Defendant-Intervenor South Coast Air Quality Management District, through their counsel of record, that:
The Proposed Defendant-Intervenors should be permitted to intervene and be joined as defendants in this action for all purposes pursuant to Rule 24(a) of the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure. The intervention of these additional parties as defendants should be permitted because the Proposed Defendant-Intervenors all claim that their interests in this case diverge from the interests of the California Air Resource Board.
In order that the intervention of the Proposed Intervenors does not result in prejudice to the plaintiff or unnecessary delay of the proceedings in this matter, the parties agree that Defendant Goldstene and the Proposed Defendant-Intervenors National Resources Defense Council, Coalition for Clean Air, Inc., and South Coast Air Quality Management District shall not propound discovery that duplicates that of any other defendant.
SO STIPULATED AND AGREED.
Based on the foregoing Stipulation, IT IS ORDERED that:
Proposed Defendant-Intervenors National Resources Defense Council, Coalition for Clean Air, Inc., and South Coast Air Quality Management District are permitted to intervene in this action and shall be joined as defendants for all purposes pursuant to Rule 24(a) of the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure.
In order that the intervention of the Proposed Intervenors does not result in prejudice to the plaintiff or unnecessary delay of the proceedings in this matter, Defendant Goldstene and the Proposed Defendant-Intervenors National Resources Defense Council, Coalition for Clean Air, Inc., and South Coast Air Quality Management District shall not propound discovery that duplicates that of any other defendant.
