5 WOLFCHILD V. US

ORDER

Julia DuMarce et al. move to reform the caption. Sheldon Peters Wolfchild, et al. (Wo1dchild), oppose the motion. The United States does not object to the motion as long as new parties are not being added to the appeal. Elizabeth T. Walker, Esq. moves to correct the record or for leave to join the appeal filed by Wolfchild. Cross- Appellants and Plaintiffs-Cross Appellants also move without opposition for a 130-day extension of time, until August 18, 2012, to file their initial briefs.

The official caption will be revised to reflect that Vic- toria Robertson-Vadnais is added as Plaintiff-Cross Appellant, and John Does 1-433 are recharacterized as Plaintiffs-Cross Appellants. The other requested changes to the caption, including listing parties as Cross- Appellants that were not included in the Notices of Ap- pea1, are denied.

z Accordingly, § IT Is ORDERED THAT:

(1) The motion to reform the caption is granted to the extent that the revised official caption is reflected above.

(2) The motion for an extension of time is granted to the extent that the plaintiffs-cross appellants’ initial briefs are due August 20, 2012.

(3) All other pending motions are denied.
