ORIGINAL PROCEEDING

(CASE NO. 3CC15100031K)

ORDER DENYING PETITION FOR WRIT OF MANDAMUS (By: Recktenwald, C.J., McKenna, Eddins, and Devens, JJ., and Circuit Judge Ochiai, in place of Ginoza, J., recused)

Upon consideration of the petition for writ of mandamus filed on February 15, 2024, and the record, the merits of an order such as the circuit court’s January 16, 2024 order may be reviewed on appeal when appropriate.

It is ordered that the petition is denied.
