OPINION
_________________________

NALBANDIAN, Circuit Judge. Plaintiffs-Appellees Liberty Wellness, LLC and Jonathan Moses sued the City of Perry, Michigan, because the City refused to implement a voter-approved marijuana facility licensing scheme. Appellant Local Roots Cannabis Company moved to intervene because it had applied for and received a license under the City’s alternative licensing regime. But Liberty Wellness and the City settled their dispute and filed a stipulated dismissal before the court ruled on the intervention motion. The parties dismissed the action with prejudice but provided that the district court retained jurisdiction to enforce their settlement agreement. The district court effectively denied Local Roots’s motion to intervene as moot given the settlement and dismissal. We agree that the motion was moot and AFFIRM.
