Supreme Court of Iowa.

July 18, 1984.


Attorney(s) appearing for the Case

Considered by REYNOLDSON, C.J., and UHLENHOPP, LARSON, SCHULTZ, and WOLLE, JJ.


SCHULTZ, Justice.

In this original certiorari action the State challenges the district court's authority to effect a change in the confinement of a prisoner from a facility under the jurisdiction of the director of the Division of Adult Corrections to one outside of the director's control. We hold the district court is without power to order this kind of change except in situations specifically authorized by statute or mandated by the constitution.
