Tummino v. Hamburg
Concerned Women for America, Christian Medical & Dental Associations, and Christian Pharmacists Fellowship International (intervenors) sought to intervene in a case to appeal a judgment that ordered the FDA to allow Plan B to be marketed over-the-counter to 17-year-olds. They also requested an extension of time to file a notice of appeal. The District Court denied their motions, finding that the intervenors lacked standing to intervene due to their failure to demonstrate a concrete injury-in-fact regarding informational, procedural, or pharmacists' alleged harms, and could not establish third-party standing. Furthermore, the court ruled that the motion to intervene was untimely, as the intervenors knew of their interest well before filing their motion. Finally, the motion for an extension of time to appeal was also denied, as the intervenors did not establish "excusable neglect or good cause" for their delay in filing, with their reason of difficulty finding local counsel being deemed insufficient.
