to appeal to this court. Pursuant to the provisions of W.R.A.P. 13, this court 
will consider the case and his submission as a petition for writ of certiorari, 
which is hereby granted for review consideration. The merits have been 
considered in detail and the decision of the district court is affirmed. We 
concur with the extensive citations of authority provided in the initial 
appellate decision by the district court. See also Freeman v. Town of Lusk, 717 P.2d 331 (Wyo. 1986).
