PER CURIAM                                               DECIDED: February 2, 2022
       AND NOW, this 2nd day of February, 2022, probable jurisdiction is NOTED. As

Appellants waited twelve days to file a notice of appeal from the Commonwealth Court’s

order denying intervention, and deadlines established by that order have already passed,

the Order of the Commonwealth Court is AFFIRMED. Cf. Pa.R.Civ.P. 2329(3) (allowing

for denial of intervention if “the petitioner has unduly delayed in making application for

intervention or the intervention will unduly delay . . . the trial or the adjudication of the

rights of the parties”).
