        490.126  APPEAL FROM SECRETARY OF STATE'S REFUSAL TO
      FILE DOCUMENT.
         1.  If the secretary of state refuses to file a document delivered
      to the secretary's office for filing, the domestic or foreign
      corporation may appeal the refusal, within thirty days after the
      return of the document, to the district court for the county in which
      the corporation's principal office or, if none in this state, its
      registered office is or will be located.  The appeal is commenced by
      petitioning the court to compel filing the document and by attaching
      to the petition the document and the secretary of state's explanation
      of the refusal to file.
         2.  The court may summarily order the secretary of state to file
      the document or take other action the court considers appropriate.
         3.  The court's final decision may be appealed as in other civil
      proceedings.
