Oral Argument
11/10/2003
Highlight
An action by a private party against the attorney general to challenge the correctness of an attorney general's opinion does not present a justiciable controversy.
A petitioner is not entitled to a writ of mandamus to compel a state's attorney to institute proceedings because the petitioner has a plain, speedy, and adequate remedy available under N.D.C.C. 11-16-06.
An order refusing to appoint a private attorney to initiate proceedings under N.D.C.C. 11-16-06 is not appealable.
The Supreme Court's jurisdiction to issue a supervisory writ is discretionary.
