MEMORANDUM

The Hamline-Midway Neighborhood Stability Coalition filed a Petition for a Writ of Prohibition with the Minnesota Court of Appeals on May 30, 1996, seeking to have the City prohibited from further proceedings on St. Paul Firearms Co.’s license. Hamline-Midway Neighborhood Stability Coalition was a party to the prior license proceeding involving St. Paul Firearms Co.  It is a potential intervenor in this proceeding.  Both the City and the Licensee agree that it is reasonable to continue this administrative hearing pending a disposition by the Court of Appeals.

Since this hearing may not be held, depending on the determination by the Court, it is reasonable to defer any determination as to the party status of the potential intervenor, Hamline-Midway Neighborhood Stability Coalition.
