Text: THE AGREED ORDER BETWEEN THE CITY AND THE BOARD. ¶14. Peden asserts in this brief that the GUD was never granted leave to intervene and, therefore, was never a party to this litigation. Peden’s reliance on Dillon v. Allen-Parker Co., 223 Miss. 359, 78 So. 2d 357 (1955), is misplaced. In Dillon, although the Mosseler Acceptance Company was not named as a defendant, it was permitted to enter an appearance and file a motion to dismiss for want of territorial jurisdiction. The Mosseler Acceptance Company asserted that it was doing business as Allen-Parker Company, the named defendant. Because Dillon failed to raise an objection at the trial court level, he was barred from doing so on appeal and the dismissal was affirmed. Dillon, 78 So.2d at 367. ¶15. In the case sub judice, Peden did not object in the trial court to the intervention of the other commissioners. The remaining commissioners filed a Motion to Intervene and for Joinder of Parties Pursuant to Miss. R. Civ. P. 18, 20 and 24. The Agreed Order entered by the trial court states that the commissioners “intervene in this action for the purpose of the entry of this Order.” Peden failed to object in the trial court, and the remaining commissioners were permitted to intervene pursuant to the Agreed Order. Therefore, this issue is without merit. 7
