Before McKUSICK, C.J., and GODFREY, NICHOLS, ROBERTS and WATHEN, JJ.


WATHEN, Justice.

Plaintiff appeals from a judgment entered in Superior Court, Penobscot County, denying her request for a declaratory judgment. The issue raised by this appeal is whether defendant's forged signature on settlement drafts and a release form can effectuate a settlement and bar defendant's underlying tort claim against plaintiff.1 We hold that it cannot and deny the appeal.
