        490.1423  APPEAL FROM DENIAL OF REINSTATEMENT.
         1.  If the secretary of state denies a corporation's application
      for reinstatement following administrative dissolution, the secretary
      of state shall serve the corporation under section 490.504 with a
      written notice that explains the reason or reasons for denial.
         2.  The corporation may appeal the denial of reinstatement to the
      district court within thirty days after service of the notice of
      denial is perfected.  The corporation appeals by petitioning the
      court to set aside the dissolution and attaching to the petition
      copies of the secretary of state's certificate of dissolution, the
      corporation's application for reinstatement, and the secretary of
      state's notice of denial.
         3.  The court may summarily order the secretary of state to
      reinstate the dissolved corporation or may take other action the
      court considers appropriate.
         4.  The court's final decision may be appealed as in other civil
      proceedings.
