WEEKS v. << (2019)

United States Court of Appeals, Ninth Circuit.

Trevor WEEKS, Plaintiff, v.

UNION PACIFIC RAILROAD COMPANY, a Delaware corporation, Defendant-Appellee, v. Kay McKenzie Parker, Proposed Intervenor, Movant-Appellant.

No. 18-15872

Decided: September 24, 2019

Before: FARRIS, TASHIMA, and NGUYEN, Circuit Judges.

Vincent Castillo, Esquire, Attorney, Lombardi, Loper & Conant, LLP, Oakland, CA, Alexei Offill-Klein, Allen, Glaessner, Hazelwood & Werth, LLP, San Francisco, CA, for Defendant - Appellee Kay McKenzie Parker, Esquire, Attorney, Law Office Of Kay McKenzie Parker, Oakland, CA, for Movant - Appellant

MEMORANDUM **

Plaintiff Trevor Weeks's former counsel Kay McKenzie Parker appeals pro se from the district court's order denying her motion to intervene in her former client's employment discrimination action for the purpose of moving for attorney's fees. We have an independent obligation to consider whether an appeal is moot. In re Burrell, 415 F.3d 994, 997 (9th Cir. 2005).

The record on appeal reflects that Parker was party to an agreement waiving any further entitlement to fees in this action. Therefore, the appeal is moot.1

Union Pacific Railroad Company's motion to supplement the record on appeal (Docket Entry No. 19) is granted.

Parker's request for sanctions, set forth in her reply brief, is denied.

DISMISSED.
