The Fifth Circuit has noted that a charge of abuse of discretion in the denial of a motion for permissive intervention appears to be almost untenable on its face when an appellant has other adequate means of asserting her rights. Korioth v. Brisco, 523 F.2d 1271, 1279 n. 25 (5th Cir.1975). Cf., Illinois v. Bristol-Myers, Co., 470 F.2d 1276, 1279 (D.C.Cir.1972) (per curiam) (when the appellant has adequate remedy in a nationwide wholesaler-retailer class action certified by the district court it was no abuse of discretion to deny permissive intervention under Rule 24(b)).
