Civil Case No. 96-1481-JE

Plaintiffs' Response to Motion to Intervene

Plaintiffs have received a copy of a motion to intervene by Joseph P. Siofele. Given that this case has been pending for close to five years and that plaintiffs' motion to vacate defendants' second administrative action has already been briefed and argued, plaintiffs ask the Court to deny Mr. Siofele's motion to intervene.(1) However, plaintiffs have no objection to the Court's considering the content of Mr. Siofele's filing on the present motion to vacate.

Respectfully submitted this 30rd day of July, 2001

(1) Plaintiffs believe their counsel spoke to a representative of Mr. Siofele last year, there is no explanation for his delay.
