ORDER

Jonathan Lee Riches appeals the United States District Court for the Eastern District of Texas’s denial of his motion to intervene. The court considers whether to dismiss this appeal for lack of jurisdiction.

This is one of apparently thousands of actions in which Riches has sought to intervene without having any meaningful connection to the case.

On December 30, 2008, the district court denied the appellant’s motion to intervene in this patent infringement case, noting that the motion failed to disclose any information relating to the subject-matter of the case. The district court further observed that “Mr. Riches eonclusory statements regarding ‘Federal Law violations’ committed against PA Advisors by Google are unfounded and have no connection to the patent infringement lawsuit before this Court.” The court received the appellant’s notice of appeal on June 5, 2012, more than 1000 days after the denial of his motion to intervene.

To challenge the district court’s order denying his motion for leave to intervene, the appellant should have filed a notice of appeal within 30 days of that order. See Stringfellow v. Concerned Neighbors In Action, 480 U.S. 370, 377, 107 S.Ct. 1177, 94 L.Ed.2d 389 (1987) (explaining that an order denying a motion for leave to intervene is subject to immediate review); see also Fed. R.App. P. 4(a)(1)(A) (“[T]he notice of appeal required by Rule 3 must be filed with the district clerk within 30 days after entry of the judgment or order appealed from.”). Because this appeal was filed outside the statutory deadline for taking an appeal to this court, we must dismiss.

Accordingly,

It Is Ordered That:

(1) The appeal is dismissed.

(2) Each side shall bear its own costs.
