The Relator contended that the DAC was not authorized by state statutes or local rules for treatment courts. The appellate court made its preliminary writ of prohibition permanent, holding that Judge Holden acted in excess of his jurisdiction and authority because the DAC failed to comply with statutory and local rule requirements for establishing treatment courts.","primaryTopic":"other","topicSlugs":["other","criminal-procedure","appellate-procedure"],"outcomeNorm":"unknown","officialSourceUrl":"https://www.courts.mo.gov/file.jsp?id=144453","detailUrl":"https://ott.law/missouri-courts/opinions/state-of-missouri-ex-rel-dan-patterson-greene-county-prosecuting-attorney-d35998","relatedPracticeAreas":[{"slug":"criminal-law","label":"Criminal Law","href":"/practice-areas/criminal-law","score":36,"source":"tag","evidence":["tag: criminal-law","topic: criminal-procedure","text: state of missouri","text: probation"],"url":"https://ott.law/practice-areas/criminal-law"},{"slug":"litigation","label":"Civil Litigation","href":"/practice-areas/litigation","score":12,"source":"topic","evidence":["topic: appellate-procedure"],"url":"https://ott.law/practice-areas/litigation"}],"role":"appellant"}]}
