Arizona Law Enforcement Merit System Council V. Dann

This special action challenges two orders of the trial court both denying petitioners' motion to dismiss respondents' complaint for lack of jurisdiction. Following our hearing on August 4, 1982, we entered an order accepting special action jurisdiction of the case, pursuant to Rule 7, Rules of Procedure for Special Actions, 17A A.R.S.; we ordered the Honorable B. Michael Dann, respondent judge, to dismiss the administrative appeal in Maricopa County Superior Court No. C-458020; we ordered the record to be sent to this court; and we stated that our written decision would follow. This, then, is our written decision setting forth our reasons for granting the petitioners special action relief.
