DECISION ORDER Judge John C. Gemmill delivered the decision of the Court, in which Presiding Judge Samuel A. Thumma and Judge Randall M. Howe joined.
G E M M I L L, Judge: ¶1 Petitioner Rory S. Foley seeks special action review of the superior court’s order postponing his SVP (sexually violent person) trial from June 2014 to September 2014. After consideration of the applicable statutes, case law, and record including the petition for special action, response, reply, and appendices, this court concludes that special action jurisdiction is appropriately exercised in this matter and that the superior court did not abuse its discretion in the postponement ruling.
Accordingly, ¶2 IT IS ORDERED accepting special action jurisdiction in this matter but denying relief. It is anticipated that the superior court will make every reasonable effort to accomplish the SVP trial in September 2014, without additional delay.
