Opinion
Cause No. 3:03-CV-550 RM.
May 9, 2005
OPINION AND ORDER
On April 11, Progressive Northern Insurance Company filed a motion to intervene as a plaintiff, but didn't properly allege the existence of diversity jurisdiction under 28 U.S.C. § 1332. The court afforded Progressive fifteen days to file an amended motion curing this flaw. On May 2, Progressive filed an amended motion in which it stated it is incorporated in Wisconsin with its principal place of business in Ohio. These facts satisfy the court that Progressive's intervention will not disturb its jurisdiction.
Accordingly, Progressive's second motion to intervene [docket no. 46] is GRANTED solely for the purpose of allowing Progressive to assert an equitable lien against any recovery by the plaintiffs in the amount of $5,500. This case will now be captioned as set forth above. Progressive's first motion to intervene [docket no. 44] is DENIED AS MOOT.
SO ORDERED.
