The entry's text: MINUTE ORDER. Movant Andrew Delaney's 11 motion to intervene is denied. Movant does not satisfy the requirements of Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 24. Movant has not satisfied the requirements to intervene as of right under Rule 24(a) because he has not identified any federal statute providing an unconditional right to intervene, nor has he identified any interest relating to the subject of this action sufficient to support intervention. See Sierra Club v. McCarthy, 308 F.R.D. 9, 11 (D.D.C. 2015) (explaining that the "legally protectable interest" needed for intervention as of right "must be of such a direct and immediate character that the intervenor will either gain or lose by the direct legal operation and effect of the judgment" (cleaned up)). The court will not exercise its discretion to grant permissive intervention under Rule 24(b)(1) because Movant has not identified a federal statute providing a conditional right to intervene and does not have a claim or defense that shares with the main action a common question of law or fact. See EEOC v. Nat'l Children's Ctr., Inc., 146 F.3d 1042, 1046 (D.C. Cir. 1998) (explaining that "permissive intervention is an inherently discretionary enterprise"). Signed by Judge Amir H. Ali on 3/31/2026. (lcaha1)
