United States Tenth Circuit

In appeals involving appellants' post-judgment motions to intervene in a case affecting their interests in oil and gas leases, the circuit court dismisses one appeal where the district court had yet to rule on their motion to intervene at the time movants filed their appeal. Denial of the other motion to intervene is affirmed on grounds that movants chose to intervene only after the government agency from which they obtained the leases decided not to pursue an appeal, and must await a final decision by the administrative agency in order to have an appealable final decision.
