               Appeal from the United States District Court
                  for the Central District of California
                David O. Carter, District Judge, Presiding

                Argued and Submitted December 10, 2012
                                                                                     page 4

                                 Pasadena, California

Before:      KOZINSKI, Chief Judge, TROTT and WARDLAW, Circuit
             Judges.


      “The filing of a notice of appeal is an event of jurisdictional significance—it

confers jurisdiction on the court of appeals and divests the district court of its

control over those aspects of the case involved in the appeal.” Griggs v. Provident

Consumer Disc. Co., 459 U.S. 56, 58 (1982) (per curiam). The district court’s

judgment determined the entire action and included an award of attorneys’ fees.

Mattel’s subsequent notice of appeal divested the district court of its jurisdiction;

the district court thus lacked jurisdiction to entertain appellants’ motion to

intervene. See Nicol v. Gulf Fleet Supply Vessels, Inc., 743 F.2d 298, 299 (5th

Cir. 1984). We therefore affirm the denial of intervention, but do so on the ground

that the district court lacked jurisdiction to entertain any such motion.


      AFFIRMED.
