¶1Robert A. Jarvis, Pittsburgh, Pa. (Kenneth W. Rice, Meadville, Pa., Carney & Carney, Erie, Pa., on the brief), for appellants.

¶2Frank B. Quinn, Erie, Pa. (A. Grant Walker, Erie, Pa., on the brief), for ap-pellee.

¶3Before McLAUGHLIN, KALODNER and HASTIE, Circuit Judges.

¶4PER CURIAM.

¶5The district court, 16 F.R.D. 225, dismissed the petition of appellants to intervene in this cause under the permissive intervention clause of Rule 24 of the Rules of Civil Procedure, 28 U.S.C.A. We are satisfied that such action by the court was proper. Since there existed other adequate means of petitioners asserting their rights we conclude that we lack jurisdiction over this appeal. Cameron v. President and Fellows of Harvard College, 1 Cir., 157 F.2d 993, 997.

¶6The appeal will be dismissed for lack of jurisdiction.
