OPINION

AFFIRMING

** ** ** ** **

BEFORE: GUDGEL, Chief Judge; DYCHE and HUDDLESTON, Judges.

HUDDLESTON, Judge:  Elbert Phillip Long appeals from a judgment

dismissing his complaint alleging civil rights violations that was

treated as a petition for declaration of rights under Kentucky

Revised Statutes (KRS) 418.040. Because we believe that the trial

court acted properly in denying Long the relief he sought, we

affirm.

Following a jury trial in May 1977, Long was convicted of
murder for which he was sentenced to imprisonment for life and was
convicted of first-degree rape for which he was sentenced to five
years
