“Intervention is an act or proceeding whereby a person is permitted to become a party in an action between other persons, after which the litigation proceeds with the original and intervening parties.” (Ruybalid v. Segura (1988) 107 N.M. 660, 663 citing State v. Reese (1967) 78 N.M. 241.) “SCRA 1986, 1-024 provides for intervention of right and permissive intervention.” (Id.)

(Arroyo Hondo Recreation Cmty. Ctr. v. Cnty. of Taos, No. A-1-CA-36785, at *2 [N.M. Ct. App. Nov. 7, 2019] quoting Rule 1-024(A)(2) NMRA.)
“To determine whether intervention is proper, the district court must consider the timeliness of the application and whether it is necessary to preserve a right, which would not otherwise be protected.” (Arroyo Hondo Recreation Cmty. Ctr. v. Cnty. of Taos, No. A-1-CA-36785, at *2 [N.M. Ct. App. Nov. 7, 2019] citing Rule 1-024(A); Richins v. Mayfield, 1973-NMSC-099, ¶¶ 6-7, 85 N.M. 578.)
“The denial of a motion to intervene will not be reversed absent a clear abuse of discretion by the trial court.” (Ruybalid v. Segura (1988) 107 N.M. 660, 663 citing Richins v. Mayfield (1973) 85 N.M. 578.)
“Whether a party has standing to litigate a particular issue is a question of law, which we review de novo.” (Forest Guardians v. Powell, 2001-NMCA-028, ¶ 5, 130 N.M. 368, 24 P.3d 803.” Hicks-Lovelace v. Lovelace, No. 31,488, at *6 [N.M. Ct. App. Oct. 31, 2013].)
“Denial of a motion to intervene is an appealable order.” (Chino Mines Co. v. Del Curto (1992) 114 N.M. 521, 522 citing Apodaca v. Town of Tome Land Grant (1974) 86 N.M. 132.)
“In reviewing an appeal from an order involving denial of intervention as a matter of right under Rule 1-024(A), where the facts underlying the application are not in dispute, we review the propriety of the court's ruling as an issue of law.” (Chino Mines Co. v. Del Curto (1992) 114 N.M. 521, 523 citing Cook v. Boorstin (1985) 763 F.2d 1462 [D.C. Cir.].)
