Court of Appeals of Minnesota
1Opinion of the Court
OPINION
WOZNIAK, Judge.
Appellant Sedgwick Heating and Air Conditioning, a mechanic’s lien claimant, appeals from the trial court’s judgment dismissing its third-party complaint, which attempted to implead the mortgagee and its assignee into the action to litigate priority. We affirm.
FACTS
This appeal consolidates four mechanic’s lien actions, each relating to separate parcels of property, in which Sedgwick is a mechanic’s lien claimant and respondents Building Material Wholesalers and its subsidiary (BMW) are mortgagees. BMW is now the owner of the parcels through mortgage foreclosure.
