Heading: Dismissal of Motion to Intervene

Text: Gore argues that the trial court erred in dismissing his motion to intervene because the record fails to disclose that the trial court notified him of the hearing. Gore contends that since the notice letter dated December 27, 2002, was not in the original record, and because Heartland failed to notify him that it was attempting to supplement the record to include the notice, [1] then this court should not consider the December 27 letter on appeal. At the April 14, 2003, hearing, the following colloquy took place between the trial court and counsel for Heartland: PLAINTIFF'S COUNSEL: Your Honor, I would ask at this time that the Court's previous order of May 14th, 2002, be dissolved so that the temporary restraining order prohibiting Heartland Community Bank from exercising on the Court's previous order granting them ownership and possession of a certain mobile home. I would also ask that the Intervenor's motion to intervene be dismissed with prejudice. THE COURT: Do you have any idea whether or not these other parties know about the hearing? PLAINTIFF'S COUNSEL: Yes, Your Honor, they were notified by this Court. Here's a letter from Ms. Graves that I was copied on December 27th of 2001. [2] THE COURT: Okay. Yeah, that's in the file. There it is. I'll grant your relief. You prepare the order. PLAINTIFF'S COUNSEL: Thank you, Your Honor. I may also need a writ of assistance. THE COURT: I'll sign that also.    We disagree with Gore's contention that the record fails to disclose that the trial court notified him of the hearing. Even if we were to disregard the supplemental record, it is clear from the record submitted by Gore that the trial court reviewed the case file and concluded that Gore was notified of the hearing. Thus, contrary to Gore's assertion, the record discloses that the trial court notified him of the hearing.
