Before MACY, C.J., THOMAS, CARDINE and TAYLOR, JJ. and BROWN, J. (Retired).


TAYLOR, Justice.

An insurer claiming an interest in a wrongful death cause of action appeals the district court's denial of a motion to intervene.

The district court ruled that the insurer's motion was not timely.

We affirm.
