State ex rel. Stern v. Mascio

Judge Mascio asserts that the court of appeals erred in granting the prosecuting attorney the requested writ of prohibition. In order to be entitled to a writ of prohibition, the prosecuting attorney is required to establish (1) that Judge Mascio was about to exercise judicial power, (2) that Judge Mascio’s exercise of such power was unauthorized by law, and (3) that refusal of the writ would cause the prosecuting attorney injury for which he has no other adequate remedy in the ordinary course of law.
