PETERSON, Justice.
Plaintiff, Republic National Life Insurance Company (Republic), brought an action against defendant, Marquette Bank and Trust Company of Rochester (Marquette), 1 for a declaratory judgment to determine the enforceability of an option to purchase an office building. On cross-motions for summary judgment, the district court rejected Marquette’s contention that there was no justiciable controversy but found the option was not extinguished, abandoned, or illegal. Accordingly it grant ed summary judgment for Marquette, and Republic appeals from that order. We affirm.
