   U.S. Court of Appeals Case No:  14-1785
   U.S. District Court for the District of North Dakota - Bismarck   
[PUBLISHED] [Colloton, Author,with Loken and Beam, Circuit Judges] Civil case - Quiet Title Act of 1972. Where four North Dakota counties sued the United States to quiet title to alleged rights-of-way along section lines that run throughout lands owned by the United States in the Dakota Prairie Grassland area in North Dakota, the district court did not err in denying a motion by three nonprofit environmental groups to intervene; the groups had not overcome of the presumption of adequate representation by the United States and the court did not err in denying their motion to intervene as of right under Rule 24(a); the district court did not abuse its discretion by denying permissive intervention out of concerns over the delay which could arise by the interjection of issues unrelated to quieting title.
