       DAVID  E. KENNEY   has applied for leave to sue MARK M. SKVARNA in quo
warranto to remove him from the office of Superintendent of Schools for the Montebello
Unified School District.

      We  conclude that the application does not raise a substantial question of law or
fact that would be cognizable in an action under Code of Civil Procedure section 803.
For that reason, the application for leave to sue is DENIED.
