MONTANA FOURTH JUDICIAL DISTRICT COURT, MINERAL COUNTY, HONORABLE SHANE A. VANNATTA, PRESIDING JUDGE, Respondent.
ORDER
Petitioners seek a writ of supervisory control over the Fourth Judicial District Court, Mineral County, in their respective criminal cases before that court. The petitioners allege the District Court erred by reversing orders of the Mineral County Justice Court that granted their respective motions to suppress evidence.
Having reviewed the Petition and the challenged Orders, we deem it appropriate to obtain a summary response. In accordance with M. R. App. P. 14(7), IT IS THERFORE ORDERED that the Fourth Judicial District Court, and the State of Montana, or both, are granted 30 days from the date of this Order to prepare, file, and serve a response(s) to this petition for writ of supervisory control.
The Clerk is directed to provide immediate notice of this Order to counsel for Petitioner, the State of Montana, the Mineral County Attorney, and the Honorable Shane A. Vannatta, presiding.
