Justice David Schmidt
Petitioner Oliveri was the president of respondent 1665 63rd Street Realty Corp. (1665) and, with respondent Re, each a 50 percent shareholder. A lease was entered into between 1665 and Sicilian Building Materials Inc. as tenant. Maria, Oliveri's daughter and Re's wife, is the sole shareholder of Sicilian. In 2010, Oliveri filed a petition for the dissolution of 1665, alleging that Sicilian failed and refused to pay rent, thereby depleting 1665's assets and causing waste. In 2011, the court granted Oliveri's petition to dissolve 1665. Maria later filed a motion to intervene in the instant dissolution proceeding, asserting that Sicilian is the lessee of 1665 and that Oliveri, by his petition in the dissolution proceeding, sought to have the properties sold and the proceeds distributed between him and Re. The court denied Maria's motion, finding that her intervening would confuse the issues, would not result in any benefit to 1665, and would only serve to prejudicially delay the sale of the 1665 properties.
