Text

These rules govern the procedure for obtaining a declaratory
judgment under 28 U.S.C. §2201. Rules 38 and 39 govern a demand
for a jury trial. The existence of another adequate remedy does
not preclude a declaratory judgment that is otherwise appro-
priate. The court may order a speedy hearing of a declaratory-
judgment action.
