Highlight

A district court's grant of declaratory relief is reviewed for abuse of discretion.
In an action for declaratory relief, a district court must ensure the proper parties are before the court to prevent the declaratory relief ordered from prejudicing the rights of persons not parties to the proceedings.
A district court may refuse to enter a declaratory judgment if such judgment would not terminate the controversy giving rise to the proceeding.
