Dear Counsel.
The court has this day granted the writ application filed in the above-captioned case.
Briefing deadlines and oral argument date will be fonhcoming.
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.
With kindest regards, I remain,
very truly yours,
an Chan
Deputy Clerk
Sixth District
cc: All counsel.
After more intensive study of the merits of the case, and consideration of oral argument,
the Court may adhere to its tentative decision or may assign the case for an authored
opinion.
