Opinion

EMAS, J.

Maria Elena Abujasen appeals an order denying her motion to intervene, which was filed after the trial court’s entry of a final judgment of foreclosure, and after a sale of the foreclosed property. Given (1) our standard of review in this case¹;(2) the general rule that intervention is not permitted post-final judgment²; and (3) the absence of a transcript of the hearing below³, we affirm the trial court’s order.

In doing so, however, we note Appellees candidly conceded, both in their brief and at oral argument, that because Appellant was a nonparty to the action, the final judgment in this case does not affect any ownership interest Appellant may have in the foreclosed property.

Affirmed.
