Re:  Motion for Leave to Intervene

Tentative Ruling:   CIC's Motion for Leave to Intervene is granted. CIC is ordered to file its Complaint-in-Intervention within 20 days from date of this order.  Moving party to give notice.

Discussion:  CIC states in its motion that it is Ground Route Inc.’s worker’s compensation liability insurer and that it paid and continues to pay Plaintiff workers’ compensation benefits. (Capalbo Decl., ¶4.) Plaintiff was working in the course and scope of his employment with Ground Route Inc. when the injury occurred. (Id., ¶2)

As CIC is Plaintiff’s employer’s insurer, the motion is GRANTED pursuant to CCP 387(d) and  Labor Code section 3853.  No opposition was filed in this noticed motion.
