MORGAN, Justice
(concurring specially).
I concur in the result but I would sum it up differently than the majority opinion does.
As I read the opinion, we do in fact conclude that Antoine is a party who should be joined under SDCL 15-6-19(a); but that in equity and good conscience the litigation should proceed among the parties to the present actions under SDCL 15 — 6—19(b) because it is not feasible to join him.
The term “indispensable party” in the last paragraph is obsolete. The motion under SDCL 15-6-12(b) no longer refers to “indispensable party” but rather to “party under § 15-6-19.”
I am authorized to state that Justice HENDERSON joins in this special concurrence.
