In this case it was the DOJ that petitioned the judge. Mike Pence asked for their intervention, why?
"The Justice Department argued that the plaintiffs “have sued the wrong defendant,” that Pence should not be the target of the suit.

From Fox News:
The judge didn’t make a finding on the merits of Gohmert’s allegations. Judge Jeremy Kernodle, a Trump appointee in the Eastern District of Texas ruled that Gohmert and the Arizona electors who joined with him in the suit did not have standing to sue.The department said, in effect, that the suit objects to long-standing procedures laid out in law, “not any actions that Vice President Pence has taken,” so he should not be the target of the suit.
“A suit to establish that the Vice President has discretion over the count, filed against the Vice President, is a walking legal contradiction,” the department argued.
“If I don’t have standing, no one does,” Gohmert responded to the decision in a tweet. “When no one ever has standing, what good is a court system?” He indicated he was likely to appeal.Gohmert and the Arizona electors lack the standing to sure, rules the judge, a Trump appointee. pic.twitter.com/c30wYAhZ9u
