State v. McMickens

Opinion of the Court

In re: Charles McMickens and Lynn McMickens applying for writs of certiorari, prohibition and mandamus.

Granted. The trial court’s denial of the motion for oyer is overruled, insofar as it denied production for inspection or copying of books, records, exhibits seized from the defendants or their business, and the motion is granted to that extent.
