determine whether the trial court's orders compelling the defendant to
undergo a mental examination in accordance with Tenn. R. Crim. P.

related to the examination, violated the right to counsel or the right
against self-incrimination under the United States or Tennessee
Constitutions.

Third Floor, City Bank Bldg.        218 West Main St., Suite 1

This declaratory judgment action likely created an interest that
otherwise might not have existed or, perhaps, might not have

employee reported that she experienced pain in her neck on August 17,
1995, that she was successfully treated and returned to work on
September 12, 1995, that her medical expenses had been paid, and that
the plaintiff [employer] should be "discharged from responsibility to
defendant [employee]."
