     (No. 93-2552 -- Submitted March 1, 1994 -- Decided April

     Per Curiam.  The judgment of the court of appeals is                        
affirmed for the reason stated in the court's opinion, i.e.,                     
declaratory judgment provides an adequate remedy to appellant                    
and its availability was thus an appropriate basis to deny the                   
writ.  State ex rel. Citizens for Fair Taxation v. Lucas Cty.
