MINUTE ORDER. Upon consideration of the Media Coalition's 32 and CBS News and NBC's emergency 35 Motions to Intervene and for Access to Hearing, it is hereby ORDERED that the motions are DENIED. The telephonic conference to which movants seek access is not under seal. Because of the time-sensitive nature of the motion that is in dispute, the conference call is being held on a federal holiday, and the courthouse is closed. The Court cannot accommodate movants' request for live access to the telephonic conference. But the Court expects a transcript of the proceeding to become available shortly after it ends, and movants may obtain a copy. SO ORDERED. Signed by Judge Richard J. Leon on 11/11/2019. (lcrjl2)
