Case: 23-10111 Document: 00517053526 Page: 2 Date Filed: 02/01/2024 ______________________________ Appeal from the United States District Court for the Northern District of Texas USDC No. 3:07-CV-2020 ______________________________ Before Wiener, Stewart, and Douglas, Circuit Judges. Per Curiam: * Kenneth Robert Stewart, Jr., and Marco Antonio Montemayor appeal from the denial of their motion to intervene. The district court determined that the appellants were not entitled to intervene as of right under Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 24(a)(2) because their request to intervene was not timely made. The district court likewise reasoned that the appellants did not show that they were entitled to permissive intervention. The appellants have not addressed any of the district court’s reasons for denying their motion to intervene. Therefore, the judgment of the district court is AFFIRMED. See Sommers v. Bank of America, NA, 835 F.3d 509, 512-14 (5th Cir. 2016); Brinkmann v. Dallas Cnty. Deputy Sheriff Abner, 813 F.2d 744, 748 (5th Cir. 1987). The motion to vacate the judgment of the district court and the motion to expedite are DENIED. The appellants are WARNED that the filing of frivolous, repetitive, or otherwise abusive pleadings will invite the imposition of sanctions, which may include dismissal, monetary sanctions, and limits on their ability to file pleadings in this court and any court subject to this court’s jurisdiction. See Coghlan v. Starkey, 852 F.2d 806, 817 n.21 (5th Cir. 1988). _____________________ * This opinion is not designated for publication. See 5th Cir. R. 47.5. 2
