Heading: Practical Impairment

Text: 19 The United States contends that even if Silverwood met the other criteria for intervention, Silverwood's interests will not be practically impaired if its motion to intervene is not granted. In particular, the United States emphasizes that Alco, Alisal's largest subsidiary, is not subject to the receivership, and the district court has set up a process for addressing claims that is adequate to protect Silverwood's interests. 20 It is true that the district court's order does not preclude Silverwood from seeking enforcement of its judgment lien and only requires that Silverwood seek court approval of its efforts. Other circuits have denied intervention as of right in instances where a summary claims process, used by the receiver, and reviewed by the district court, offered adequate due process to other interested parties. See Commodity Futures Trading Comm'n. v. Chilcott Portfolio Mgmt., Inc., 725 F.2d 584, 586 (10th Cir.1984); Commodity Futures Trading Comm'n v. Heritage Capital Advisory Servs., Ltd., 736 F.2d 384, 386 (7th Cir.1984). 21 We find this reasoning persuasive and hold that Silverwood's interests are not impaired because the court has established other means by which Silverwood may protect its interests.
