Court Appealed: Appeal from the United States District Court for the Eastern District of Michigan at Detroit

KAREN NELSON MOORE, Circuit Judge. More than a year and a half after final approval of third-round settlements in a billion-dollar multidistrict litigation, Financial Recovery Services, LLC (FRS), a company that manages and files claims on behalf of its insurer clients, moved to intervene. The district court denied FRS’s motion, finding FRS’s intervention untimely. Because the district court did not abuse its discretion, we AFFIRM the district court’s judgment.
