ORDER. Plaintiff's Motion to Take Deposition (Doc. 15 ) is DENIED. There is no indication that the requirements of Federal Rule 26(d)(1) have been satisfied. Even if there was, Plaintiff's stated reasons for seeking discovery are inconsistent with the law. Compare Mot. at pg. 2 para. 8 ("Plaintiff would like to take the deposition of Edward Snowden for purposes of opposing the motion to dismiss, and for use later in the case") with, e.g., Mann v. Brenner, 2010 WL 1220963, *5 (3d Cir. Mar. 30, 2010) ("[a] motion to dismiss pursuant to Rule 12(b)(6) tests the legal sufficiency of a claim, and therefore may be decided on its face," and "the purpose of Rule 12(b)(6) is to streamline[ ] litigation by dispensing with needless discovery and factfinding") (citations to quoted authority omitted). Signed by Judge Cathy Bissoon on 10/23/14. Text-only entry; no PDF document will issue. This text-only entry constitutes the Order of the Court or Notice on the matter. (dcd)

ORDER granting Plaintiff's Motion (Doc. 17 ) for leave to file second amended complaint, as follows. Plaintiff shall file his second amended complaint by 11/25/14, and absent unforeseen and extraordinary circumstances, no further amendments will be permitted. Although, generally, leave to amend freely is given, this rule cannot be read so broadly as to allow or require the Court and opposing parties to entertain endless requests for amendment. The purpose of Federal Rule 15 is not "to make the complaint 'a moving target,'" Minter v. Prime Equipment Co., 451 F.3d 1196, 1206 (10th Cir. 2006), and any further requests for amendment most likely will raise significant issues regarding undue delay and prejudice. Accordingly, Plaintiff's second amended complaint must make last, best efforts to state any and all allegations and viable claims that Plaintiff intends to pursue in this lawsuit. Signed by Judge Cathy Bissoon on 11/19/14. Text-only entry; no PDF document will issue. This text-only entry constitutes the Order of the Court or Notice on the matter. (dcd)

ORDER denying 34 Motion to Intervene by Justin Credico. Mr. Credico's Motion, in which he essentially claims and/or admits to engaging in criminal conduct, is legally frivolous. Furthermore, to the extent that Mr. Credico may have an interest in this case, Plaintiff has brought this lawsuit as a class action, and Mr. Credico has failed to demonstrate: (1) why his interest is any different from any other putative class member; or (2) why his presumed interest cannot properly be addressed through the class-action process and/or mechanisms. For all of these reasons, Mr. Credico's Motion to Intervene is DENIED. The other pending Motions affiliated with the intervention-request (Docs. 36 & 37 ) are DENIED AS MOOT. Signed by Judge Cathy Bissoon on 12/27/16. Text-only entry; no PDF document will issue. This text-only entry constitutes the Order of the Court or Notice on the matter. (dcd) Staff note: a copy of this text Order will be sent, via First-Class U.S. Mail, to Mr. Credico's address of record on 12/28/16. (Entered: 12/27/2016)

ORDER. Mr. Credico's Motion (Doc. 53 ) for permissive joinder and/or to "amend" the complaint will be denied. This individual moved to intervene in the case (Doc. 34 ); the motion was denied, once, and again on reconsideration (Docs. 39 & 41 ); he appealed (Doc. 42 ); and the Court of Appeals for the Third Circuit dismissed his appeal (Doc. 52 ). Putative class action-aspects notwithstanding, Mr. Credico is not a primary party to this case, and that issue has been resolved with finality. He does not have standing to invoke rules regarding permissive joinder and/or amendment of the pleadings. Accordingly, his Motion (Doc. 53 ) is DENIED. Signed by Judge Cathy Bissoon on 3/8/17. Staff note: On 3/9/17, a copy of this text Order will be sent, via First-Class U.S. Mail, to the return address on Mr. Credico's most recent filing (Federal Detention Center Philadelphia, 700 Arch Street, P.O. Box 562, Philadelphia, PA 19106). Text-only entry; no PDF document will issue. This text-only entry constitutes the Order of the Court or Notice on the matter. (dcd) (Entered: 03/08/2017)

ORDER STATISTICALLY CLOSING CASE, FOR ADMINISTRATIVE PURPOSES ONLY. Given the lengthy period of time allowed for Plaintiff to respond to Defendants' Motion to Dismiss, as agreed upon by the parties and approved by the Court (see text Order at Doc. 56), this case will, in the interim, remain administratively closed. Administrative closings comprise a familiar way in which courts remove cases from their active files without final adjudication, and it does not prejudice the rights of the parties in any manner. The case will be reopened upon Plaintiff's next filing regarding the MTD (or before, should either party have reason to so move). Signed by Judge Cathy Bissoon on 3/16/17.

ORDER denying Doc. 60 Mr. Credico's Motion for reconsideration of the Order (Doc. 54 ) denying his requests for permissive joinder and/or to "amend" the complaint. Recent activity in Mr. Credico's appeal of the intervention-issue notwithstanding, the rules regarding permissive joinder and/or amendment of the pleadings remain unavailable to him based on his present status in this litigation. See, e.g., Jackson v. Waterbury Police Dep't, 2015 WL 5251533, *10 (D. Conn. Sept. 8, 2015) ("Intervention is used by a person who is outside the litigation who wishes to join it[,] whereas permissive joinder is initiated by a person who is already a party to the proceeding who wishes to bring in another party.") (citation to quoted source omitted). Although Mr. Credico obviously remains free to pursue relief before the Circuit regarding the intervention-issue, this Court's rulings regarding permissive joinder and amendment of the pleadings remain unaffected. Signed by Judge Cathy Bissoon on 3/21/17. Staff note: On 3/22/17, a copy of this text Order will be sent, via First-Class U.S. Mail, to the return address on Mr. Credico's most recent filing (Federal Detention Center Philadelphia, 700 Arch Street, P.O.
