People v. District Court ex rel. Second Judicial District

In this original proceeding the People seek relief in the nature of prohibition directing the respondent district court to deny the defendant Robert Sunshine’s (“Sunshine”) motion seeking discovery of the transcript of a colloquy between the district attorney and the grand jury. The court granted the defendant’s motion for discovery, but granted a stay while the district attorney filed an original proceeding under C.A.R. 21. We issued a rule to show cause and now make that rule absolute.
