Before CANBY and THOMPSON, Circuit Judges, and MOLLOY, District Judge.**

MEMORANDUM*

3
PFAELZER, District Judge.

4
After carefully reviewing the arguments presented and the record, we affirm the district court's dismissal of the Glavaris plaintiffs' complaint and its denial of Bernard Fidel and Joel Binder's intervention motion for the reasons set forth by the district court in its thorough and well-reasoned Memorandum of Decision, filed on September 10, 1992;  and Memorandum of Decision, flied on August 11, 1994.  We also affirm the denial of Myron R. Stahl's intervention motion.  The motion was not timely filed and intervention clearly would have prejudiced the parties in the Glavaris action.  See County of Orange v. Air.  Calif., 799 F.2d 535, 537-38 (9th Cir.1986);  Empire Blue Cross & Blue Shield v. Janet Greeson's A Place for Us, 62 F.3d 1217, 1220 (9th Cir.1995).1

AFFIRMED.

 Honorable Donald W. Molloy, United States District Judge for the District of Montana, sitting by designation
