Description
This is an original action for writ of prohibition prosecuted by Thomas Marshall, Regional Public Defender for the 14th Judicial Circuit, against The Honorable Channing D. Blaeuer, Circuit Judge of the 14th Judicial Circuit. We have jurisdiction pursuant to Mo. Const. art. V, § 4. Relator contends that respondent exceeded his jurisdiction by appointing him to represent inmates at the Missouri Training Center for Men in their actions challenging the conditions of their confinement. The essence of relator's argument is that § 600.042, RSMo Cum. Supp. 1984, gives respondent authority to appoint the Public Defender in only a limited set of cases and that provision of counsel in all other cases is left to the discretion of the Director of the Director of the Public Defender System and to the Defenders.
