• denying intervention and stating “[movant’s] interest is purely speculative because it is contingent upon his prevailing against [defendant] in the [other pending] action.”

• movant was “not a party to the Mt. Hawley insurance policy and ha[d] no legally protectable interest in that insurance 7 policy”
• “[Movant] fails to cite any legally protectable interest and states only that there will be less money available from which he can recover wrongful death damages….”
