1Opinion of the Court
SELYA, Circuit Judge.
After the New Hampshire Public Utilities Commission (PUC) formulated a plan to inject retail competition into the New Hampshire electric power market, Public Service Company of New Hampshire (PSNH) filed suit against the PUC’s members, seeking to block inauguration of the plan. Several parties moved to intervene pursuant to Fed.R.Civ.P. 24. Not all succeeded. Six disappointed would-be intervenors appeal from the denial of intervention. 1 Finding no sign that the district court abused its discretion, we affirm.
