Riley v. Cornerstone Community Outreach, Inc.

MURDOCK, Justice.

The issues l-aised by this petition for a writ of mandamus are: (1) whether law-enforcement activities and litigation pursued by attorneys and other officers who are otherwise appropriately authorized by the governor to do so are “nullities” without the approval of the attorney general or the local district attorney and (2) whether the attorney general has the right to as*707sume control of such activities and litigation. Because we answer both questions in the negative, we grant the petition and issue the writ of mandamus.
