Mr. Dexter’s wife, Shirley A. Dexter, is also a named 1

Plaintiff and seeks loss of consortium damages as a result of her

husband’s injuries.

Because oral argument would not be of material assistance, 2

this matter was deemed suitable for decision without oral

argument. E.D. Local Rule 78-230(h).

2

(“Plaintiff”) seeks damages for personal injuries allegedly 1

sustained while in the course and scope of his employment with

Continental Airlines. Jurisdiction is premised on diversity of

citizenship pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 1332. Continental Airlines,

Gallagher Bassett Services, Inc., and National Union Fire

Insurance Company (“Applicants for Intervention”) now move to

intervene in Plaintiff’s lawsuit against the entities allegedly

responsible for the motor vehicle accident as a result of which

Plaintiff claims to have been injured. Applicants for

Intervention seek to recover workers’ compensation benefits paid

to Plaintiff following the accident, and propose to file a

Complaint in Intervention on that basis.

No opposition having been filed to Applicants’ request, and

good cause appearing therefore, the Motion for Leave to File a

Complaint in Intervention is GRANTED. Applicants for 2

Intervention are directed to serve and file their proposed

Complaint in Intervention within thirty (30) days from the date

of this order. 

IT IS SO ORDERED.

DATED: October 26, 2005
