## Opinion text

SIMMS, Justice,
dissenting:
¶ 1 I would not assume original jurisdiction. The parties are merely seeking an advisory opinion from this Court by way of an action for declaratory judgment which we do not have the jurisdiction to render. A fairly concise summary of my views of these matters is set forth in my opinion in Keating v. Johnson, 1996 OK 61 , 918 P.2d 51, 61 , specially concurring to the Court’s refusal to assume original jurisdiction in a similar situation.
