Sexson v. Municipal Court

I respectfully disagree that this appeal should be treated as an original action for a writ of prohibition, or that the issuance of a writ is clearly warranted.

But the reason for the dismissal of the appeal in Casoli was the lack of a final order. The judgment here is final and there is no reason to fictionalize this case from an appeal to an original action in prohibition.
