• holding that “because [the putative intervenor] has suffered a cognizable injury sufficient to establish Article III standing, she also has the requisite interest under Rule 24(a)(2).”
• holding that family members could not intervene in state wrongful death claim because another family member, acting as administratrix, would adequately represent the proposed intervenors’ interests

• noting that “unwilling[ness] to raise claims or arguments that would benefit the putative in-tervenor may qualify as an inadequate representative in some cases”
• explaining that “filfing] suit in an inappropriate forum, advancing] a disadvantageous choice-of-law position, and failfing] to bring a state-law claim” does not rise to the level of inadequate representation necessary for intervention
