MADDOX, Justice.

This is a pro se appeal[1] by an inmate who sought to intervene in a wrongful death action filed by his wife, as administratrix of the estate of his late son, who apparently was killed in a fire in their trailer home.

The record before us is incomplete, and the appellant’s brief is inadequate, but apparently the appellant is claiming that he had a statutory right to intervene in the wrongful death action filed by his wife as administratrix.[2] The record before us does not show that the trial judge committed reversible error in denying appellant’s request to intervene in the lawsuit; therefore, based on the authority of Dearmon v. Dearmon, 492 So.2d 1004 (Ala. 1986), we affirm.

AFFIRMED.

HORNSBY, C.J., and ALMON, ADAMS and STEAGALL, JJ., concur.
