OPINION OF THE COURT
Bellacosa, J.
This CPLR article 78 prohibition proceeding is an offshoot of a pretrial dispute in a Medicaid fraud criminal prosecution. The Trial Justice before whom the criminal matter was pending ordered the Medicaid Fraud Bureau of the Attorney General’s office to turn over Grand Jury minutes to defense counsel. The Bureau sought the extraordinary writ of prohibition at the Appellate Division to block disclosure of the minutes. The Appellate Division granted the writ, with one Justice dissenting. This Court granted leave to appeal to the Trial Justice.
