Text: 26 On December 16, 2003, the district court approved the settlement order and dismissed the suit. Two days later, Appellants filed a motion to intervene permissively and as of right. The district court denied that motion on February 24, 2004. Our appellate jurisdiction arises under 28 U.S.C. § 1291. See Coalition of Ariz./N.M. Counties for Stable Economic Growth v.
