ORDER

PER CURIAM AND NOW, this 14th day of January, 2015, the Application for Extraordinary Relief is DENIED. Per Supervising Judge Diana L. Anhalt’s in camera answer, the protective order issued out of concern over retaliation and intimidation against employees of Office of Attorney General as a result of their grand jury testimony. The order is intended to prohibit only obstruction, intimidation, or retaliation against any witnesses subpoenaed to testify before the grand jury; it is not intended to limit the law enforcement or prosecutorial authority of the Office of Attorney General.
