United States Eighth Circuit

District court did not err in denying plaintiff's motion to intervene as a matter of right in a suit determining whether the Arkansas Board of Education's decision to authorize an election violated the 1989 settlement agreement and various federal court orders involving the desegregation of the Pulaski County schools, as the group failed to overcome the presumption that the state would adequately represent their interests.
