Le v. Arboleda et al.

Motion for Leave to Intervene on behalf of United Clean Trucks, Inc. filed by Proposed Intervenor A-One Commercial Insurance Risk Retention Group is GRANTED. A-One is ordered to file its answer in intervention forthwith. The court will not deem the answer filed.

Defendant United Clean Trucks, Inc. (“UCT”) has been suspended by the California Secretary of State for nonpayment of franchise tax and thus is not permitted to defend itself in this action. (Palm Valley Homeowners Ass'n, Inc. v. Design MTC (2000) 85 Cal.App.4th 553, 556.) UCT’s insurer A-One Commercial Insurance Risk Retention Group, Inc. (“A-One”) seeks to intervene in this action in order to protect its own interests.

Intervention is proper where the intervenor shows an interest relating to the property or transaction which is the subject of the action and disposition of that action may as a practical matter impair or impede that person’s ability to protect the interest. (Code Civ. Proc. § 387, subd.
