ORDER granting 51 Motion to Intervene. Signed by District Judge Sharion Aycock on 8/8/16. (jtm)

IN THE UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT
FOR THE NORTHERN DISTRICT OF MISSISSIPPI
OXFORD DIVISION
PAUL A. PIERCE, et.al.,
v.

PLAINTIFFS
CIVIL ACTION NO. 3:13-cv-143-SA-SAA

BANK OF AMERICA, N.A., et.al.

DEFENDANTS

ORDER GRANTING MOTION FOR LEAVE TO INTERVENE
The Court, having considered the unopposed Motion for Leave to Intervene [51] by
Trustmark National Bank (“Trustmark”), hereby grants Trustmark’s intervention as party
plaintiff.
Trustmark moves to intervene pursuant to Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 24(a), which
requires the Court to permit intervention by any movant who on timely motion: (1) is given an
unconditional right to intervene by a federal statute; or (2) claims an interest relating to the
property or transaction that is subject of the action, and is so situated that disposing of the action
may as a practical matter impair or impede the movant’s ability to protect its interest, unless
existing parties adequately represent that interest.
Trustmark alleges it holds the valid primary deed to the property in controversy, which is
in opposition to defendant Bank of America, N.A.’s claim for the same. Because no existing
party could adequately represent Trustmark’s alleged interest, Trustmark’s Motion for Leave to
Intervene [51] is GRANTED. This case shall be reopened for further adjudication.
SO ORDERED, this the 8th day of August, 2016.
