James Moore, a former State Farm insurance agent, sued the State Farm
defendants for, inter alia, breach of contract. The defendants counterclaimed for
a declaratory judgment. The jury returned a verdict for the defendants on all
grounds, but the district court declined to issue a declaratory judgment.
We have reviewed the briefs on appeal and pertinent portions of the record
and have heard the arguments of counsel. There is sufficient evidence to sup-
port the verdict and no adequate grounds to undermine it. There is no pertinent
bar of res judicata. The district court did not abuse its discretion in refusing a
declaratory judgment. Because we find no reversible error, the judgment is in
all respects AFFIRMED.
