Supreme Court of Iowa.

December 20, 2000.

Attorney(s) appearing for the Case

Thomas J. Miller, Attorney General, Mary Tabor, Assistant Attorney General, Victoria Siegel, County Attorney, and Rivka Sorensen, Special Prosecutor, for appellee.

Considered en banc.

LARSON, Justice.

This plaintiff, Michael Allen Jones, has appealed from a district court order denying his petition for a writ of certiorari to challenge a judicial magistrate's refusal to order discovery depositions in a simple-misdemeanor case. Because we hold a defendant has no right to court-ordered discovery depositions in simple-misdemeanor cases, we affirm the order of the district court.
