MOTION AND PROCEDURAL RULINGS
In Prohibition. This cause originated in this court on the filing of a complaint for a writ of prohibition. Upon consideration thereof.
It is ordered by the court, sua sponte, that an alternative writ is granted, and the following briefing schedule is set for presentation of evidence and filing of briefs pursuant to S.Ct. Prac. R. 10.6:
The parties shall file any evidence they intend to present within 20 days of the date of this entry; relator shall file a brief within ten days of the filing of the evidence; respondents shall file a brief within 20 days after the filing of relator’s brief; and relator may file a reply brief within seven days after filing of respondents’ brief.
The challenged portion of respondents’ December 4, 2009 order and January 28, 2010 order, which prohibits the members of the print and broadcast media from reporting on the underlying criminal trial proceedings in State v. Schwenkmeyer until a jury is impaneled for the trial in State v. Knepley, is stayed pending our resolution of this case.
O’Connor, J., dissents and would grant a peremptory writ.
