Bny Western Trust v. Diane L. Roman

Summary

The court dismissed Glacier International Depository Bank's appeal because the denial of its motion to intervene was not a final judgment. An unsuccessful proposed intervenor may appeal immediately only if it makes a colorable claim to intervention as of right, and Glacier failed that threshold because its motion was untimely. The court concluded that Glacier had known of its claimed interest for more than two years and had numerous earlier opportunities to intervene.
