Dear Counsel,
The Court has this day granted the writ application filed in the above-captioned case.
You will be advised at a later date when the case is set on the docket.
On the basis of preliminary analysis, the Court has tentatively concluded it will be
appropriate to decide this case summarily and without an authored opinion.
After more intensive study of the merits ofthe case, and consideration of oral argument,
the Court may adhere to its tentative decision or may assign the case for an authored
opinion.
With kindest regards, I remain,
very ly yours,
an Chan
