1Opinion of the Court
QUINN, Justice.
The petitioner, the Colorado Department of Highways (department), initiated this original proceeding under C.A.R. 21 to prohibit the Denver District Court (respondent) from further proceeding in a negligence action filed against the department on the ground that the respondent abused its discretion in denying the department’s motion to change venue. The department’s motion was filed pursuant to C.R.C.P. 98(f), which authorizes the court to change the place of trial for the convenience of witnesses. We issued a rule to show cause and now make the rule absolute.
