No. A-719


Decided January 25, 1974
415 U.S. 1301

ON MOTION FOR LEAVE TO FILE PETITION FOR WRIT
OF MANDAMUS AND/OR PROHIBITION

Syllabus

Motion for leave to file a petition for writ of mandamus and/or prohibition to require the District Court to rule on petitioners’ motion to dismiss the indictment against them prior to the arraignment, is denied, since whether the latter motion should be disposed of prior to the arraignment rests in the District Court’s sound discretion.
