Brock v. Thompson
Supreme Court of Oklahoma
Decided October 14, 1997No. 88912PublishedCited by 97 opinions
1Opinion of the Court
OPALA, Justice.
¶ 1 The dispositive issue tendered by this original proceeding for a writ of prohibition is whether the district court action against the petitioners, now pending before the respondent judge, is dismissible for want of actionable quality. We hold that (a) when measured by the applicable Conley v. Gibson 1 standard, the plaintiffs (co-respondents herein) can muster no set of facts in support of their quest for relief against the petitioners under any legal theory and (b) the writ should issue to arrest further proceedings against the petitioners in the action below.
