Movant Ragda Sharifeh asked leave to intervene as to two orders: a July 6, 2010 order which held, in part, that the Soad Wattar Revocable Living Trust was the alter ego of the Debtor, Richard Sharif (“the Debtor”) and an August 5, 2010 order directing Wells Fargo Financial Advisors to turn over assets held in the name of the Trust to Horace Fox, Jr. the Trustee of the Debtor’s bankruptcy estate. The court held that the Trust assets were property of the Debtor’s estate as of the commencement of the bankruptcy case, that Ragda Sharifeh could have sought leave to intervene before this matter was adjudicated, and that pursuant to Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 24(b)(3), intervention five months after the entry of the orders at issue would unduly delay and prejudice the adjudication of the original parties’ rights.
