U.S. Court of Appeals Case No: 11-1362
Tax Court, Internal Revenue Service
[PUBLISHED] [Benton, Author, with Melloy and Smith, Circuit Judges]
Civil case - Federal Tax. In action involving taxes owed by a resident of
the U.S. Virgin Islands, the district court erred in denying the U.S. Virgin
Islands' motion to intervene as the Virgin Islands has a legally protected
interest in its ability to create and effectively administer an effective
economic development program, and the Tax Court's decision in this
matter would concretely affect the program and create an injury in fact;
reversed and remanded for further proceedings.
