United States Fifth Circuit

Motion for intervention on the issues of corporate ownership was untimely, as plaintiffs clearly had notice that their interests in the company were challenged more than 1.5 years before moving to intervene. Plaintiffs are merely shareholders of the corporation, and any interest they claim in the main demand is a derivative interest.
