BDG Gotham Residential, LLC, et al., Plaintiffs, v. Western Waterproofing Company, Inc., et al., Defendants. Western Waterproofing Company, Inc., Plaintiff, v. Zurich American Insurance Company, et al., Defendants.


ORDER

ALISON J. NATHAN, District Judge:

On May 12, 2021, Starr Indemnity & Liability Company and Navigators Insurance Company moved to intervene in No. 20-cv-3199. Dkt. No. 113. The Court directed any party to inform the Court by June 4, 2021, if it intended to oppose the motion. Dkt. No. 121. No party has done so.

For the reasons set forth in their memorandum of law in support of the motion, the Court finds that Starr Indemnity and Navigators Insurance have an interest in the outcome of this action as excess insurers of Western Waterproofing; that disposing of the action in their absence may impair their ability to protect that interest; and that existing parties do not adequately represent that interest. See Fed. R. Civ. P. 24(a). The Court also finds that the excess insurers' claims share common questions of law and fact with the existing action and that intervention would not prejudice any other party. See Fed. R. Civ. P. 24(b).

The Court thus GRANTS the excess insurers' unopposed motion to intervene (Dkt. No. 133).

SO ORDERED.
