Filing 5
TEXT Order DENYING the Appeal (Dkt. No. 4) of Magistrate Judge Peebles's denial of Gino Romano's Motion to intervene (Dkt. No. 3). A Magistrate Judge's denial of a motion to intervene is equivalent to a Report-Recommendation subject to de novo review upon objection. Stackhouse v. McKnight, 168 F. App'x 464, 467 (2d Cir. 2006). The Court has considered Romano's objections, and affirms Judge Peebles's Text Order. As the Motion was denied without prejudice to renew, the Court notes that any renewed motion must comply with Rule 24 of the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure. ORDER denying 4 Appeal of Magistrate Judge Decision to District Court. Signed by Senior Judge Lawrence E. Kahn on June 11, 2012. (sas)
